Since my 2 year olds learned to toddle, I've had the crying quilt. The quilt has somehow migrated to the housekeeping center, but the spot is still kept empty. I'm down to one 2 year old now, and when she throws a fit or is having a bad time, I tell her to go sit until she feels better, and she will haul herself to that spot. It's the one thing she never argues about.
This morning, she was having a rough spell, sassy, whiny, just sort of a stinker. I had been running through the standard no, don't, stop, etc. Finally, she let out a huge sigh and said, "I'm gonna sit." She stood up and took herself to the corner and plopped down. She sat there a couple of minutes, then got up and went back to playing. I think she gave herself an attitude adjustment, because we had a splendid time the rest of the day.
