What, Daniel holding still?

Daniel is really growing up. He is old enough for think time(time-out). I have been putting him in think time for sometime now, but now I don't have to hold him there all the time. When he gets in trouble for, let's say, biting or hitting, then I give him a look and tell him to go to think time, and off he goes to the top of the stairs and sits down. He just sits there and looks at the front door, waiting for me to count(well, most of the time). Proof that he really does sit there.

Here is another shot of him in think time with his blanket. After I took the picture he smiled at me showing off his 5 teeth. He is such a ham. After he gets out of think time, I repeat what behavior I don't want him to continue, and then explain how I do want him to behave. Then there is always a big hug after all the talking. I don't have a clue if think time really works, but we are trying. This kid spends a lot of time in there when he is tired or hungry. He gets really cranky, and you don't want to see that.
