Time Out

A couple of days ago I was cleaning up the kitchen. Marley was at school.  Jake loves to climb and frequently climbs up on our kitchen table and throws off all the decorative stuff.  That day was no different.  I saw him doing it and said, "Jake, do you need to have some time out?" (I have never used time out with him. I figured he was too young to grasp the concept.)  He climbed down from the table, walked through the kitchen, through the living room to the corner that we always send Marley to and stood there.  :)  I gave him a hug and asked him to not climb up on the table any more.  I guess he's been paying attention!
