T.O.

Miss M has a T.O (time out) box made of painters tape on the stairs.

I needed to do something.  She's become very argumentative and I don't have time to explain everything or listen to why she can't do things.  She has a reason for everything.

We can't go to the store because it's closed.
We can't go outside because it's too sunny, too cold, too rainy, too dark.
We can't go to the zoo because it's not Tuesday.  She's obsessed with Tuesday.

She's only had one real T.O. but we do find her sitting in her T.O. box occasionally.  She doesn't realize that a T.O. isn't where she wants to be.  Let's hope we don't have to use our T.O. box very often but she should be warned...I am not afraid to use it.
