He then suggests giving his brain a time-out as a negative reinforcement. On further questioning ("how do you give a brain a time-out?"), he told us that when you're sleeping, your brain is on a time-out. Sometimes it's just downright eerie to hear him talk. I am fascinated, purely fascinated by 3yo logic, because, it is, truly and absolutely logical, just unaltered by adult expectations. When older folks do this stuff, we think they're doing it on purpose (i.e. parsing the rules and laws in their advantage, like certain politicians). But, I think 3yo's just take everything literally. If you're told you can't use the new wipes, 'cause you still have old wipes, obviously, the logical thing to do is to get rid of the old wipes! bj giggle giggle
