Ever since my parents and sisters left a week ago, Xander keeps asking, "Where did Buddy and Grammie go?" He also keeps asking for "Uncle Katie". I'm not sure why he thinks she's an uncle, but I'm pretty sure he is just getting "Uncle Rode" and "Aunt Katie" mixed up into one name.
I've been trying to be consistent with punishments, and since the "Supernanny" says to do time-outs.... Xander now has a time-out chair (it's a little rocking chair with "Susan" written across the back). Now, whenever he does something naughty, he cries for a few seconds, then asks to have a time-out. What an obedient boy, kinda.
He also uses the time-out chair as a way to get out of his room during nap-time and bed-time. It usually goes something like this:
Xander comes out of his room wearing his rain-boots and a big smile. Mommy gives him the "naughty-boy" smile while laughing histerically on the inside. Xander whines, then asks to have a time-out. Mommy puts him back in his room in his big boy bed.
I also moved him into his "big boy bed" before moving Lil in there so I could have the crib to use as a threat if he wasn't staying in his bed. When he comes out of his room 1, 2, 3 times, we put him in his crib. "If you get out of your big-boy-bed again, I will put you in your crib." Now he comes out of his room, and when I put him back in bed he asks to sleep in his crib. Aye-aye-aye!
