Time-Out

Devon has been introduced to the world of TIME-OUT. He has actually been quite wonderful and an overal easy-going kid. He does get frusterated at times, but there has been very few conflicts with him. So far, (knock on wood), no temper-tantrums, or huge crying fits. He is much more mellow emotionally than Kayla was at this age.

Over the weekend, Devon insisted on closing the back door while Kayla was still standing in the doorway. He has this obsession with doors, and cupboards remaining closed. He does not like to walk by an open door without having the urge to close it. Well, this time his sister was in the way and he did not care.

He was told he can't shut the door when someone is in the way and asked to go stand in time-out. He immediately knew where to go and without fuss went and stood in the corner. I guess he is an old pro of watching his big sister.

I thought this was the cutest moment ever! I just wanted to laugh! I again told him that he can't shut doors when someone is standing in them and asked if he was ready to go play. He said he was.
