Two Year Olds Time Out

Time Out. A place my children frequent these days. If we happen to be downstairs when a time out is needed, Charlie and Wylie know just what corner to head to. You can be in a completely different room and utter the words time out and they head to the dining room and take a seat in their corners. It is routine.

Upstairs time out is a different story. There really isn't a good corner up there that has proven to be effective so if a time out is needed while upstairs, Charlie and Wylie know to go to their rooms and sit on their beds. At least that is what is SUPPOSE to be going on in the room during time out.

This morning there was a definite need for time out. So Charlie and Wylie were told to go to their rooms and sit on their beds. After the crying had subsided, the room became all too peaceful with no sounds to be heard. I thought, "Great...maybe they needed a little power nap!"

Ummmm.... Not so much!

As I opened the door to have a serious heart to heart with my children about being sweet, this is what I saw.

Powder Party in Time Out!

Charlie was quite amused with his creativity. He had only managed to cover 1 side of his face in powder in the midst of covering his bed, Ernie and much of pretend Drake in the room.

All boy and never afraid to have a little fun!


Wylie, who although she acted totally uninvolved in this whole event, was just distraught over the mess she had on her pants.

Then she became overly concerned about the mess on her bed. Acting the whole time like she didn't have a single hand in this! We know better though, sneaky girl!

Thank the Lord for vacuums!

And thank the Lord for my precious babies, who despite throwing powder parties while in time out, brighten every day of my life!
