Time Out

Yesterday Noah was playing with his little Noah's Ark toy and animals. He put all the animals in the ark and then I saw him peek in and get this little look on his face.
"That's one. That's two. That's three. Time out," he said as he counted on his fingers. I wondered who he was talking to. I soon found out.
He pulled out a zebra and walked over to the dining room chair. He pulled out the chair and put it against the side of the fridge. This is where he goes when he is in time out.
"Time out chair," he told the zebra as he set it down in the middle of the chair. He then walked over to the microwave and (although he can't reach it on the counter) he put his hand in the air and acted like he was pushing buttons (which is where we set the timer.) "Two minutes."
He then came over and sat next to me on the couch and continued to play with the other animals, glancing up at the zebra every once in a while. He never actually got him out of the chair, though and after asking him questions I found out the zebra was in time out because he didn't listen and obey.
They really do pay attention to everything, don't they?

Giggle ~ that is hilarious! Oh yes, they definitely do NOT miss a thing! Just wait until Noah is the "big bossy" older brother....we have to remind Griffin on a daily basis (sometimes hourly!) that he is NOT Paxton's parent and that we will take care of Paxton....kids see and hear a lot more than you think! :o)
