We have had a few days recently where Lilah has really been testing the boundaries and my patience. A frustrating morning ended with Lilah in her room for a big time out. She screamed it out and came out a more well-behaved little girl on the other side.
After nap, we took a walk to the mailbox and back (a half mile round trip). She really wanted to run around and play with her friends instead, but I had to get back inside, so I told her we were only going to the mailbox and then back inside. As we were walking back from the mailbox, she was running a little ways ahead. I nicely reminded her that we couldn't play when we got back home, that we had to go right back inside. I think the time out earlier worked because she shouted over her shoulder, "Yeah! Okay, Mom! Yes, ma'am! Thank you!" Funny girl!
