I guess she's listening

Right around her 2nd birthday, Seth and I started to do time-outs with Ella. She really is the best kid most of the time, but she is 2....do I need to say more? Sometimes it's the only way to show her that we're serious about the boundaries we're trying to set. We have a little corner next to the bookcase where we make her sit for a minute and she actually will stay there until we come get her. I think she really does get it most of the time when we explain why we're giving her the time out too....We really don't have to go all the way most of the time anymore, just give her the warning. Like the warning we give to Ella when she screams, which for some reason she seemed to need to do a lot a couple weeks ago, but is better now. Well now Ella is laying down the law with her dolly Baby Carly (she named her....not sure where Carly came from). The other day, I saw Ella putting Carly in the corner for screaming.
