I sent Corban to time out. I went up to take him out of it and he had blocked his bedroom door with EVERTHING that was within reach: chair, table, blocks, train tracks, toys, books, etc. Instant white hot anger (it had been one of those days). Instead of screaming at him like I wanted, I told him that he needed to clean up everything and put it in the right place before he could get out of his room. I then closed the door and walked away. It took him about 15 minutes, but Corban did eventually clean up everything he had put against the door and I had a nice little break to cool off.
Good boy for obeying! And good mama for not losing it! You both deserve a cookie!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention cookies, Peggy. I made THE BEST PB and chocolate chip cookies last night! Corban and I ... okay, I ate a lot of them. I have to work out twice today to make up for it! :)
