Melody was being 2 1/2 one evening at dinner. She (as usual) ate 2 bites of food and was finished. Rob & I were not. So we sent her off to play while we stayed at the table to eat. Apparently she did not approve of our "adult" conversation we were having in her absence, so she started acting up. She eventually got really bent out of shape over the lack of attention towards her, and she hit me. This isn't something she usually does, and we have a zero tolerance for hitting in our family, so off to time out she goes. She was clearly trying to get attention, so she wasn't sorry about what she did, which resulted in the following:
"Hey you, Mommy! That's not nice. Moooommmmmmmy! Yoo-hoo! That's not fair! Mooooommmmmmmyyyyyyyyy? Yoo-hoo? Hey you!"
Which lasted for the duration of time out. She still said she was sorry, and gave hugs when time out was over, and she never seemed to notice the smiles and laughing Rob & I did while she was in time out.
