8.20.10 The Naughty Chair

I found this gem at the salvation army for $3. It was exactly what I have been looking for to start timeouts with Jakob. He thought it was pretty funny when I sat the chair up, but not so much the first time I put him in it. I expected a long battle, but the chair kind of flips over when he tries to get out, so that seems to be working in my favor ( he stays put for his minute). So far, about half the time I warn him he is about to go in the naughty chair, he stops whatever it is he is doing that he is not suppose to be doing. The times he can't seem to help himself though, usually involve climbing or standing on things that are not safe, like end tables and such.
