Time Out!

Looks like we have trouble on our hands! Miss Hailey just turned one, but seems to be quickly moving towards her terrible twos.

The last couple weeks she has been throwing fits when she doesn't get her way. I'm talking lay in the floor and kick and scream fits. We try to ignore them, but there's only so much we can take. I hate to be too harsh with her, but I think if she's smart enough to act like that, then she's smart enough to know what punishment is. Anyone have any suggestions?

Friday morning as we were headed out the door, Kevin made her mad so she slapped him several times! I mentioned this when I dropped her off at school, but the lady told me she had not noticed it before. Sure enough when Kevin picked her up Friday afternoon, he was told that Hailey was sent to timeout!

Story goes....Hailey and a little boy were fighting over a toy. Hailey got mad and threw a toy at the little boy, but she missed (she's gonna throw just like her momma, poor girl!) So what does she do? She gets up, walks over and slaps the little boy in the face!

When Kevin told me this story I busted up laughing! I wish they had video of this - I play the scenario over and over in my head and it just gets funnier every time! I know I shouldn't laugh at this but it is a cute story. Looks like we need to get a handle on our wild child!
