Time Out

Ben got a new bike for his birthday. However, despite the appearance of this picture he'd rather not go outside at all some days.More often than not it is a struggle to make him a willing participant in outdoor activities. He'd rather stay inside tending to his trains. You name it, his trains are a part of it. Lately he puts them in the timeout chair/corner. He goes on and on about their transgressions, asks for an apology, then releases them from time out.Meanwhile, Mary is happy doing anything as long as it is not drinking from a bottle.

And what are the transgressions? Running off the track or does he say things that HE might have done wrong?

Mary, bottle or not, seems very content.

Mostly, the trains crash each other and have to go to time out.

Supernanny would be so proud of Ben's procedures. Will he put Mary in time out when she gets into his trains? With that big smile, she certainly likes to sit up to play.
