Time out

Anya had to have her first "time-out" this morning, which I guess is a milestone of sorts. She very purposefully disobeyed me more than once when I told her to not mess with the dvd player (she knows this has always been off limits). She was put in her crib for 45 seconds and left alone. I had my doubts as to whether she would understand what was going on, but the timeout (and maybe partially the explanation?) was very effective. We came back into the living room. She looked at the dvd player, shook her head no, and played with her toys. No attempts to mess with the dvd player since then (yet).

As "they" say, here's where the real parenting starts. Fun.
