Time-out

Max got his first negative report from school today.  His crime- spitting at another student three times!  His sentence- 5 minutes in the time-out chair*.  The shocker- he sat for 5 minutes!  Unfortunately the behavior itself was not a shocker, as Max has been the poster child for the 'terrible twos' for several weeks.  His temper tantrums are as intense as his laughter, and his slaps are as piercing as his eyes.  The spitting is usually his last resort- when his hands are being pinned down so that he can't beat his parents (who love and adore him very much).

*It should be noted that Max really likes the time out chair and will often sit in it for fun during the day.      

Where's Max?
