Time Outs

Our time out corner has been plenty busy lately with both boys occupying time there. That is right, I said both. My little baby Jude has had a few time outs lately. It seems that Eli has decided that since he is almost 3 he needs to make this last week of being 2 absolutely terrible. He is talking back constantly, doesn't listen to us, throws huge fits, and is suddenly being mean to Jude for no reason. We are at a loss of what to do next. We have done time outs in the corner, time outs in his bed, taking away favorite toys, taking away tv and movies, he has lost bedtime stories for the past 6 nights, and for the last 5 nights he has also had to go to bed 30 minutes early. Nothing seems to be working. Jude sees how Eli is acting and he has picked up some not so nice habits. He has been hitting, kicking and throwing fits. I am exhausted and really hoping this is a phase that will be over soon. If anyone has any tips or advise I would gladly take it!
Just a few pictures during their brief moments of sweetness.

Oh, man. Sorry to hear about Eli's behavior. I sure hope it is a phase that ends soon...I know how tiring that can be for you. Good luck. (wish I had the best trick to share on how to correct it...)
