Self-Discipline

A few nights ago (when it was warmer) after dinner, I told little E to pick up a certain toy in the kitchen and take it to the playroom.  She very 2-ishly told me 'No!' and threw said toy across the room.  I calmly but firmly told her that was not acceptable and had her pick up the toy and take it to the playroom.  She did so and I let go of her hand thinking the matter was over.  The next thing I know, Big J is chuckling and showing me a picture he had just taken on his phone.  Little E had put herself in timeout.  She then came to me and 'apologized' and was then done crying.
