Way Back This Morning -- Caroline Getting a Timeout at School

I started my Way Back Whens-day blog and instead, wanted to share a story from today, which is a Wednesday, so, I think it still counts.

I was talking with Caroline's pre-school teachers this morning. I asked if she had been hitting Caden lately. She has become aggressive with him at home and I wanted to see if it was transferring to school or possibly to other kids. They confirmed that she does hit/push Caden and ALWAYS wants whatever toy that he is playing with, but, she never hits or pushes other kids. They mentioned that when she does hit, they put her in a time-out. Something that we are starting to do at home too.

When I picked Caroline up today, her teachers told me that she got put in time-out today for pushing Caden. The funny party is that they put her in the corner of the room, and the teacher says that she has so many friends in the class, that when Caroline went to sit in the corner, several of her friends went to sit with her and hug and comfort her! Her teacher had to break up the "time-out-social-hour" so Caroline would understand that she was being punished.

Here is a picture of our little bully. She looks so sweet, hard to believe that she packs such a punch!
Oh, and don't worry, she still loves her brother so much! When she's not hitting or pushing him, she is having fun playing with him or taking care of him by giving him whatever she thinks he needs. He's always the first person that she asks about in the morning when she wakes up and both kids light up when they see each other!
