We've been working with Drew on appropriate behavior. When he does something inappropriate he gets a time out in the corner. That has become less effective as he's decided time out is fun, so I tried standing him facing the corner the other day. Later that day we caught him holding Woody's face in the corner (which I couldn't catch on camera). Then he set Woody in the corner, pointed at him, told him to stay several times, and walked away(which is exactly what we do to him). It was hilarious. It's funny, the things kids pick up and mimic. 
Update: All I have to do is theaten time out now and Drew gets excited and says "yeah!" and runs to the corner. Is it bad when a kid looks forward to his punishments? At least it gets him to stop doing whatever naughty thing he was doing. This discipline thing isn't as easy as it looks!

That's hilarious. I totally understand though. We did time out with kaleb for a while and just didn't seem to work. So we stopped. I'm not really sure what to do. Isn't parenting fun!
I'm dying! First of all-Drew is such a funny kid! It's absolutely crazy that he's already two! Also, David is totally going through this Toy Story thing, too! We just bought him a little Woody doll while we were in CA. He drags it around everywhere! I think we got a little ripped off though- ours doesn't have a pully string in the back!
Are you ever coming back??? -Seems like you've been gone for years! Miss you!
That is too cute! Well, it sounds like the time-outs work if it gets him to stop his behavior for the moment. Distraction is the best, isn't it?!
You are at the tail end of the summer, hang in there!
