Time Away

Time out...time away...same thing. Daycare gives the kids a "time away" when they aren't behaving. Time away sounds nicer than time out, so we use the same term at home when Sydy gets a little bit too bold. The girls were in the family room the other night and they started to argue over a toy. Sydney did something to Sawyer that made her cry really hard. Biting, pinching, stepping on her fingers...not sure which, but Soybean was really sad and mad. I picked her up to soothe her and and asked Sydney what she did to her sister. She kept saying "Sorry sissy" and then kissed her fingers. I took Sawyer into the dining room to change her diaper and to keep soothing her. Sydy followed me in and kept say "sorry." Get this, she then climbed on the time away chair and said "time away." I said yes, you deserve a time away. She is so funny...she puts herself in a time away! Hysterical!
