So this week has been rough on both Scott and me. I have probably let Scott get away with way too much over the past 13 mos of his life and now we're both paying for it. Ever since Kaila started coming to play with us, it's hard to ignore the fact that she is very capable of following rules and playing nice and sharing and she is not that much older than Scott, only about 3 mos. So I have been forcing myself to stop babying Scott so much and start expecting the same out of him as I do out of the other kids and oh Lordy, it's not going over so well with Scott. He's never been a stranger to the timeout corner, but he's certainly never been as familiar with it as he has been this past week. For instance, we have now added an outside corner to our timeout spot collection and in both pictures here where you don't see Scott, that's exactly where he is. Poor Kaila got a taste of the bad Scotty after a power struggle over a bike and above, Jack is consoling her. So what is it that they say- it takes a week to make a bad habit and two weeks to break it, right? So with that logic, Scott should be cured of his bully-itis by the time he's 3? Oh geez, what have I done?!
