Ok, so we've been doing the timeout thing. She's had two already in the last 1 hour and 40 minutes. She kind of seems to be getting it, but kind of seems to not really care. The really really hard part is keeping a straight face. My daughter is really really funny and her eyes sparkle like crazy when she's pushing boundries. I'm going to stay consistent but it all seems to fall apart when she flashes me a smile and I start laughing. It's SOOOO hard.
