Time Out

Gracie is going through a phase where she feels the need to test her boundaries. I knew it was coming but I wasn't really prepared as well as I had hoped to be. She is finally fully potty trained during the day and only in a pull-up at night.

Well, Joe put her in a time out the other day and here's how the conversation went:

Joe: Time out!

Gracie: I.DON'T.WANT.TO.

Joe: (picks her up to put her in the timeout chair) Grace, daddy said 'time out'.

Gracie: and I said NO.TIME.OUT.

Joe: Grace, what happens when you don't listen to daddy?

Gracie: I POOP!

Joe: You what????

Gracie: I POOP

Joe: No Grace, you get a time out when you don't listen to daddy

Gracie, Five minutes later (from the timeout chair): DADDDDDDDY I POOOOOOOOPED!!!

Yes...she decided that she was mad that she was in time out so she pooped in her underwear in the timeout chair. Two is a lovely age isn't it? It honestly took everything I had not to bust out laughing...but I didn't want him mad a me too so I just kept it to myself!
