Home and happy.. and destructive.

So parenting in the hospital is... incredibly difficult.   This was the first time to have a very active toddler that couldn't leave a 15x15 room for something over 60 hours (they let him out the first 8 hours because they hadn't put two and two together).  How do you do timeout? if you take things away, EVERYONE suffers. You can leave him in his crib, but whenever you put him in there for normal reasons, he says sorry because he thinks he did something wrong.  Believe it or not, after that long he gets into everything. Everything.  We're all a little less sane leaving that building (that usually is the case though.)  Let's NOT do that again. 

So.. he comes home and of course, is into everything.. and has decided he doesn't want to listen to us.

He was quickly reminded that at home, we have time out. :)

Now to try to re-establish a routine where we don't get up at a quarter til 6.  Please.
