Time Out, What have I gotten myself into?

So, Katie is stubborn. Not that I just figured that out. Some of you have heard the story already. But, here are the pictures to prove it. Katie likes to get her own way. If that doesn't happen, she launches into the terrible-twos-style fit as only an unreasonable child can do. It includes kicking and hitting. Me. I don't like being kicked and hit, so I quickly started up time-out for the one-year-old. It involves this: If you hit me, I'm going to set you down in the time-out chair. As soon as you say you're sorry, I'll pick you back up again and we can move on. Well, Katie doesn't like being told what to do. So, she refused to say "Sawee" (sound it out). I am not kidding. Refused. For 20 minutes she sat as still as a statue, frowning at me. My wiggle worm. Completely still. Finally she fell asleep for 2 hours. Just to avoid the apology.
