Effective Discipline

We have a dining room chair next to the refridgerator to keep Bud from touching the back of the fridge. Last night he kept climbing up in the chair and making us nervous by sitting on the edge of the chair and acting like he was just going to climb off that way (we want him to turn around and go on his belly). So after telling him not to get in the chair and him disobeying we removed the chair. Then he went right for the back of the fridge and touched it again after we told him not too. So B took him in his room, put him in his megasaucer and told him what he had done wrong and what we wanted him to do. We left him there for 1.5 minutes and when I brought him out he started repeating what B had told him and pointing at the back of the fridge. And he stayed away the rest of the night!

Bud has this word he says, shabas (at least that's how it sounds) and I asked a professor what that means in Hebrew and he said it means the Sabbath. Either Bud made it up or he heard it somewhere! Whenever I ask him what it means he answers, "some."

He has been playing pretend quite a bit lately. A few times over the weekend he baked a cake, put a candle on top and sang happy birthday! I didn't even know he knew that song and all of a sudden he was singing it. Crazy.
