Sentencing (Is that even a real word in itself?)

Ethan is learning to piece words together to form sentences. Today at lunch he was just mr. talkative at our dining table. "Milk...please...more!" and "All gone...pizza." It is so fun to hear him talking more and knowing that he definitely understands us. We are reasoning more with him during discipline. We have officially begun the use of time-out. His spot is near our front door. He knows whats going on when he gets put there. Then we always "talk" about why he was there and hug and kiss before he gets up. I want him to associate discipline with love because that is why we are doing it. Anyhow, he really is growing up before our eyes. It's amazing being a Mommy!
