1, 2, Swat the Bottom


Well....time out officially doesn't work for Libby. As a matter of fact, she opts for time out so she can whine from the corner which she has discovered has more echo. We are trying a "1, 2 Swat the Bottom" routine a friend recommended. She hasn't actually made it to the "swat" due to the fact she complies by 2---she swats herself which is aggrevating, but as long as she stops the incessant whining---all is well on the homefront. School is back in session, so some sense of schedule has returned, and we are counting it down until Christmas. Libby found a placemat map and has been memorizing the names of the states. So far she knows Georgia, Tennessee, California "where the camera lives", Hawaii, Alaska, Ohio, and Washington State --which she calls "Washin' My State". Isn't it amazing how great children's memories are?

Your blog is my source of comedy relief....which is much needed when it is 10:30 and Sara Kate is still singing in her bed at the top of her lungs. Keep the posts coming, I'll probably need a laugh tomorrow.
