Time Out

Jenna got her first time out the other day. She has always been our strong-willed one. People say that its that "second born" nature.

The Scene:

Joshie was building a block tower out of legos and Jenna decided to kick it over.

The Confrontation:

me: Jenna, go pick up the blocks, please...

Jenna looks at me saying with her expression: "are you kidding me?"

me: Jenna - go pick them up, or you are going to get a spanking.

Jeanna reluctantly picks them up and throws them across the kitchen, looks at me with a look that says it all: "you happy?"

I then proceed to spank her on her diaper

Jenna sits down and cries because now she knows mommy means business. She looks at me though and refuses to pick up the blocks that she threw and just sulks on the floor.

me: ok, time out! Go sit on the chair. You will sit here for one minute because you are one year old. You are in time out because you kicked over the blocks and then threw them.

Here is the classic expression on her face. Can you read her body language?
