It was only a matter of time!

I knew it would come one day.  We'd had tantrums, meltdowns, "I don't want to"s, and now this.  I told Carter to not put his feet on the toy box as Caleb couldn't get in to get his toys - I had told him this before.  He looked at me and said those words, "I can do it if I want to."  And there you go - the back talk begins.  I gave him that horrified Mom look and told him to go straight to time out.  He screamed the whole way there - he hates time out - and sat there for his time.  After his time was up we had a talk about how we are to speak to Mommy.  We'll see if those words come up again but I will have to say he didn't put his feet up on the toy box again!
