Sitting in Time Out

Gosh, my title sounds like it would be a great song-"Sitting in Time Out." If I were a song writer I would totally use it and take over Nick Jr. from Laurie Berkner with my creativity, fun, music, and adorably colorful outfits (or in my case, sweatpants).
What would inspire me to want to write a song about time-out? It isn't because Zachary and Drew deserved about 10 before 7:15 this morning. Nope. It is because I was put in time-out today by my 2 year old. And it was so ridiculously cute that I actually went along with it. (Cue the gasps from childhood discipline specialists.)

I just want to share with you the last 5 minutes I shared with Drew before he went down for his nap.

Standing up from lunch Drew looks at me, "I pooping."
Me: "You're pooping?"
Drew: "Yeah."
"Do you want to go on the potty?"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Cuz, I pooping now."
"I see that, but why don't you want to go on the potty."
"Um, cuz, cuz, cuz, I love pooping."
"Okay, well Dweez, lay down so I can change you."

He proceeds to lay down and while laying down I accidentally spilled milk from Nate's bottle on his leg.

Drew: "Mommy! You in time-out."
Me: "What? You want to put me in time-out?"
"You in time-out for doing dat. You 'pilled milk on me!"
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you are ok with walking around in your own poop, but milk is where you draw the line."
"You in time-out. Did you hear my words? Did you hear my words? You in time-out. Come on, let's go."

He then grabbed my hand and walked me to his time-out mat. Then he sat down next to me and started singing me "Jesus Loves Me."

I mean, honestly, how cute is that?!!!!!! I'm reprimanded by my 2 year old, only to be reminded of God's great love for me. :-)

Loving my boys-even in time-out,
The Joyful and Tired Mom
