Parenting Tip-Try It, It Works!

I have discovered a wonderful deterrent to fighting. Actually, I must give my wise Mother the credit for this one. She used to use this method on us when we were little, and I hated it. (Why, oh why haven't I thought of doing this before?) The idea is a simple one. If there is a fight, the offending parties must sit in time out, with their arms around each other! I implemented this new technique this morning, and it worked wonders. Notice how happy they are to hold one another! The best part-they have been getting along swimmingly ever since.



You might be wondering where Avery was during the shenanigans. Well, wonder no more. Here she is, parked in the play food container. We have not figured out why she has been doing this of late, but it sure is cute!
