Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

Because books.

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?

He wouldn't know a time-out simply because he can't really focus on what he's done wrong.

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.

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.

Thanks, Cashmere! I'll stop stressing out about it.

You could tie her to something.

You've no idea how tempting this is! And I'm seriously considering a toddler leash for places like airports and the ballpark.

I swear the only thing that'll keep her distracted from that bookshelf beyond physical prevention is a steady diet of Sesame Street and Doctor Who. (I've noticed she prefers the latter to any other adult TV. I should really watch something else British to check my theory that she's fascinated by the accents.)
