The time has come...


Carlee got her first time out! She just recently started pinching and grabbing your face really hard. She pulls hair too. And she'll keep doing it. Sometimes you can just say "No!" sternly and she whimpers b/c her feelings got hurt. Not tonight. She kept trying to pinch, grab and pull. So I decided to sit her in the first corner I saw. I sat her down and explained why she was sitting there. Surprisingly she sat there, touched the wall, played with her feet, looked at me, but never really tried to get up. I even had time to run and grab my phone to snap a picture. I had to refrain from laughing. After what seemed like a minute, I picked her up and explained we need to be nice and then she gave me a kiss. I don't know if she learned anything but its a start. I'm sure that won't be the last time out!

Oh my gosh what a good girl! She looks adorable serving her sentence too! I hope it's that easy *and cute!* when it's our turn!
