Time Out

Last night I wanted to start Sawyer's bedtime routine. I had asked him to come over by me (I was sitting on his floor) that we could change his butt and put his jammies on. Sawyer, being the incredible staller that he is, started to do his show off tricks. Usually this consist of him running in circles, falling down, saying "oh" and just plain being goofy. Last night it was standing on top of his books. I asked him to not stand on his books and that he need to come by me to change his butt. I also told him that if did not listen he would get a time out.

He then got off his books but then started to run down the hallway. I then said firmly "Sawyer Allen" at this he came back running into the room and sat down by the wall. This is the same way at which he had his timeout the night before. It is now taking absolutely everything inside of me not to laugh or smile, but I asked him "are you in a timeout?" to which he replied "yeah!". I then said "okay then you sit there until you are ready to come here and get ready for bed". He then jumped up, came over by me, laid down on the floor and we changed his butt! I am still in shock that my 2 year old gave himself a timeout.
