Time Out Take Two

After her bath, Violet and I were having fun. She was chasing me around the living room.  It was cute.  Once the chase wrapped up, though, I wanted to keep us marching toward bedtime, so we started to brush teeth.
Maybe Violet was still wound up from our chase and still being silly.
Whatever the reason, she punched me in the face with her little fist.  That doesn't fly, so she got a time out.  She did her time standing in the corner and I got an apology out of her.  We picked up brushing teeth and I thought that she'd settled down.  The minute I looked away while brushing, she punched me in the face again.  I was stunned.  I couldn't believe it.  She had seemed genuinely sorry the first time yet she immediately did it again.
She's a great kid, but man, sometimes it's tough to keep your cool with this Daddy job.
