My sweet, precious, amazing two year old, Carden, is having some trouble with lying. And it is generally just when it's time for bed. It usually consist of her saying she needs to "go potty". She is warned that if she is lying she will get popped and have to sit in time out for two minutes. Well tonight, she lied about having to potty. When I reassured her of her consequences, she asked me to put her in time out. She actually enjoys time out. It used to make her scream and stomp her feet and cry. But now she enjoys it. So, I finally figured out that time out at night means staying up and seeing what mommy and daddy are doing. Tonight, I moved her time out chair and didn't pay her any attention. She did cry when she got up and ran into her bedroom. She is such a mess but I wouldn't want it any other way. I am not sure if her behavior at times is payback for mine or her daddy's behavior as a child!
