meet "meatball"

For a long long time this kid called herself "Moe"... which then became "Me" and just recently she'll answer "Meatball" if asked her name. Alas, our defiant little Meatball spent so long in time-out this morning that she repositioned the pillow, grabbed the blanket from the back of the chair & decided to fall asleep. Beat apologizing to mama, I guess.

An update: We don't really do "time-outs" in this house or at least we don't call them that. We do do time alone in a chair and to be perfectly honest it doesn't happen all that often. The girls are put in a chair, given the stipulations (i.e. stop crying, improve your attitude, be willing to apologize) and are then able to leave the chair on their own accord. Average time spent in a chair usually amounts to a minute. Ever spent over three and a half hours in her chair yesterday, three of which were spent sleeping whatever off. I say it all the time... it ain't easy being little.

P.S. Love that even fast asleep she's lookin' a little grumpy.
