"Time-out" with MAJOR style

We started to "Time-out" Adrian after he was around 1.5 year old. We've learned through books and online articles that the recommended timeout session should last no more than 1 minute per year of age and we try hard to adhere to that rule. Adrian has been good to stand in his "Time-out" spot until we release him. We've also established the following routine for him:

1. Mummy or Daddy (whoever ordered the timeout) must be the one to release him
2. Mummy or Daddy would then explain what the munchkin mistake was
3. Munchkin then acknowledges the mistake by apologizing followed by kissing his Mummy or Daddy
4. Munchkin is then released to go off and play happily

One afternoon, we arrived to my Mum's home and found that Adrian and his cousins had all be misbehaving. I know you shouldn't be taking pictures while he's being punished, but I couldn't help but notice how "stylish" he looked during his "time-out period!" I especially LOVE the last picture in this series!
