Edward bit me today. It was accidental, but it really hurt. So I very firmly told him "NO BITING!" and put him on the floor. How does my sixteen month old react? Does he throw a tantrum? Does he get sad little tears? No way. He stood up and walked very deliberately to Ethan's time-out spot.
After the few seconds it took me to realize what had just happened, I walked over and gave him the after time-out talk. You know. "I love you, but can't blah blah blah." He jumped up and gave me a big hug. Just like Ethan has to be able to do before he can leave time-out. Then he walked away like everything was all better.
Freaky.
This boy scares me a little. Time-outs at 16 months?? I'm not sure I'm ready to raise this child.

You comments say # Poeple Love Me, so I thought I'd add at least one to the total. It sounds like Edward is already learning great things from you. No biting is a very important life skill.
I would say you must be doing a great job with consistency because he obviously figured out what the deal was.
