tiMe oUt

JJ and Emma love to fight with each other. Whenever one does something the other one comes and freaks out to us about it. This usually sparks the offender to come and plead his/her case to us. This usually results in them yelling at each other in front of us. We have found that if they both go to time out they calm down and then we can work it out.

The funny part to this story is whenever they have their noses to the wall Ellie will stop what ever she is doing and go and stand at the wall also. She will even fake cry. Jeron and I get a good chuckle out of this.

Here are the events. JJ and Emma freaking out. I tell them noses to the wall. Ellie is eatting her dinner, gets off her chair and heads to the wall. She does this for about 30 seconds and then goes and starts poking at the kids. It really so funny.
Ellie is getting ready to cry. LOL

Ellie is the head in the middle

Seriously it is funny to witness.

Please don't look down on us for our parenting skills. It is all we can do to keep the peace. We really do love our kids.

That is so funny!! I also don't see anything wrong with your parenting skills, anything to keep the peace!!! That also sounds like Jackson, he loves to copy anyone. He even has a fake laugh.

That is great. I love it. I may have to steal your idea. :) Right now I am looking for anything that works.

So sweet. We have something similar over here. Amy takes a timeout with Ian every time.

Love the nose to the wall idea...and that's so cute that Ellie joins them! Right now Molly's time out is the laundry room. It's small and cramped and has absolutely nothing fun to do or look at. And when she's really being naughty, Jeremy threatens to turn out the light. So I'd say your parenting skills are great!
