First Punishment

Well it was bound to happen....time outs weren't enough, what do we do?

I was at class the other night and McKenna was out playing with Megan. Josh specifically told her to stay in ether Megan's yard or our yard. Well, when he went to look for her, she had wandered into Mariah's backyard (all of our yards touch.) So he made her come home and officially "grounded" her from playing with the neighbors until after the weekend. He told her 5 days.

So - every day she lets us know, "4 more days mommy" or "3 more days daddy." Tonight she said, "So first there is tomorrow, then there will be another tomorrow, and then after the really far away tomorrow, then it will be 5 days and I can play with Megan." I suppose that she feels tomorrow is a term that means the day after now....or maybe the day after the day after now...too funny little one :)

I bet she will ask next time she leaves the yard as well!
