Time Out for Owen

For about the last two weeks Owen's behavior has been dramatically different than we're used to. He has always been such a laid back and happy kid but lately he is just angry! He wants my full attention at all times and if he doesn't get it, he's willing to throw a major fit to get it!!!

Yesterday I was feeding Catherine and he was whining and clinging to my leg and trying to get on my lap. When I told him no he started trying to grab Catherine's bottle and when I pushed his hand away, he actually bit me in anger!! So I picked him up and sat him in the corner. I didn't really expect him to stay there but he did!
angry and confused

crying but not moving

he decides to play with some toys that are near

major fit...he starts to scoot out of his spot
Finally when I started laughing at him, he realized he wasn't still in trouble and got up. But he stayed there for a solid 5 mins at least. I guess he learned the deal from watching his bigger sisters :)
