Breaking the pattern

Married 2005
Elijah born 2007
Lillian born 2009

Unless something crazy happens in the next two hours, we're not having a baby in 2011. Besides the fact that it's a neat pattern that fits well with my brain, I'm okay with that.

Looking forward to the new year when we have another little girl in our family picture.

Time outs

We have a time out chair in the corner by our bedroom. Time outs have worked relatively well for our kids. Lillian still kind of thinks they're a fun thing her older brother "gets" to do.

She has taken to giving her dolls time outs. She informed me that they were there because they weren't listening. Wonder where she's heard that before...

(In case you're wondering about the look on her face, it's her stern face because she's punishing the dolls.)
