Antibiotics and time-outs

I think it is safe to say that all of the infection-causing bugs that have dared enter our home this week have now been annihilated. KK is back to herself, with a few new developmental advancements. Like the need for some serious time-outs.

Last night BuddyBuddy came home from doggy daycare (no comments necessary, I already know it's crazy) with a wound from a "collision with another dog which resulted in a little tussle." He was limping badly and he had a small puncture wound in his chest/shoulder area. Since it appeared to be a dog bite, we brought him in to the vet this morning and now he is also on antibiotics. He seemed a lot better this morning, but laid around the house a lot. The problem was that whenever he laid down, KK insisted that she just HAD to sit on him. BuddyBuddy is gentle, sweet, and VERY tolerant of her...but he is still a dog. And sitting on him just isn't an option. Really ever, but particularly when he may be in pain or uncomfortable.

So, KK needed to have a couple of time-outs today because she just didn't get it. I had to sit with her because this 18 month old isn't going to just stay sitting in a corner on her own. And what does she do? She gets all cute with me. She says "Hi Mama!" and then tilts her head and blinks her eyes while she points to them and says "eyessth". I tried to be strong, but I couldn't help but laugh and say "Awwww, I love you!" and give her a kiss. She still had to sit there for the entire minute and a half while I explained that she couldn't sit on B, but darn she was cute! This discipline thing is going to be hard.
