since it's an e-ticket, and we need the card used to purchase the tickets to get our boarding passes.
I always use e-tickets and they just request any credit card--not necessarily the one I purchased the ticket with. It calls up the itinerary, not the billing.
If you put her in the playpen or exersaucer for a time out, will she associate those with punishment? I don't think it's considered a "time-out" if you simply remove her from whatever's tempting her. I associate "time-out" with a quiet, empty spot with no toys so they can be punished--which at this point, I think, is beyond Owen. He wouldn't know a time-out simply because he can't really focus on what he's done wrong.
But he does understand "no" and usually cries when I tell him no. I'm just lucky at this point because he actually listens. For now.
I'm practicing not laughing at him because it's hilarious when I tell him no, he looks up, bewildered. Then screws up his face and cries. Then he wanders off to find something else to get into.
You could tie her to something.
Just kidding.
She's fine in the exersaucer. When you are done with what you're doing, take her outside and let her run all over like a wild child. Then, she'll nap. And you'll get even more done.
That's why things like the exersaucer were invented, Susan. 5-10 minutes sounds fine.
IMyBabyNews, Em has learned to pull herself up onto her knees and feet in her crib in the morning. She stands there and yells at me to wake up and she looks like she's in some cherry stained jailcell. Cutest Thing Ever.
Is Annabel too young for short time-outs?
I don't think she'd get it yet. Putting her in the exersaucer when she won't respect a "No, you cannot pick through the garbage can!" (Sara's big thing) is perfectly appropriate -- she still gets the message that what she doing before is not okay, and she's being removed from the situation.
I was told once (by a ticket agent) that you can even use your Driver's License to get your e-tickets if it has a magnetic strip. Can you call the airline and ask?

This is what I meant -- Sara wouldn't understand a time out chair, or something like that. Usually with her a really firm "no" and carrying her into another room, or simply taking something away from her, does the trick. Annabel's so little still (and O, too) that I don't think she'll associate the exersaucer with punishment, she'll just know that what she was doign before was not okay.

Yeah. You put it much better. I know O gets "no!" but not the idea of sitting in a time-out. I'm big on removing him from the situation while saying, "no". I'm really, really lucky because we have ample, baby-gated areas for him to run wild.
I love the baby-in-jail look. Adorable.
