Break through

Time outs have gotten to be a real battle of wills. Like seriously nutso. One minute of silence took 45 minutes of yelling and crying. And it wasn't getting better. We knew it was a battle we had to win, but at what cost. We were all upset about it.

Enter the glitter bottle! This little gem has been on the web and I was skeptical. But turns out I was also desperate enough to try it.

Ah-maze-ing! In one try we were done within 5 minutes, then the next time it was just the two minutes. And no crying. Did you here that? Me either. Ahhhhh.

So there's a picture of the miracle bottle and Lia with her gift from Ulysses this morning. Note the "biggest smile" she's giving me there!
