life with a toddler

caedmon: " c'mon mom. gotta hurry. time to go night night."

before caedmon turned 2, we rarely had to discipline him. he had gone in time-out about 3 times and that was about it. then he turned 2. whole different story. he found my remote control and enjoys pressing the buttons. so we've had to reimplement time-out. it is working pretty well-i think it helps him chill out. he sits quietly until i tell him he's all done then he says sorry and gives me a hug. it's actually quite cute. yesterday he tells me "mama i need go time-out little while". and today he smacked at me (playfully, but not ok), and i said "caedmon, you need to go sit down and look at the wall. you need to go in time-out because you hit mommy" and the boy just walks over sits down and looks at the wall. who does that?! i just love his little personality, even when he's pressing my buttons!
