Time Out

Alexis and I made the best of the late afternoon rain by making a quick stop at TJMaxx to pick up some things for Do Good Day. As we quickly scanned the clearance aisles for some treasures, I spotted an Alexis-sized painted chair. I pulled it down from the shelf to check the price and realized that it said, "Time Out" on the back.

"Hey, look, Alexis. It's a Time Out Chair," I said.

"We don't need a Time Out Chair," she replied in a panicked tone as she ran away as fast as she could.

I think that means I should have bought it just for the sheer joy of torturing her.

Psst . . . I've lost track of who I have and have not told about it, but if you're a mom in Pittsburgh and you are involved in social media/blogging, I have a site where I occasionally post get-togethers. It's over here, and you're welcome to take a peek.

We have a "naughty" chair. It was a baby gift, it looks like a zebraand matches nothing in our house so we made it the "naughty" chair. Kyle even sends Daddy there when he says a bad word.
