Just Say No

Ok, I need some advice.

Eli is almost two. The TERRIBLE TWO'S have definately kicked in.

Eli is very rough with us, and I don't know what to do about it. I have tried telling him no, I always make him say sorry, I put him in time out, and I have even resorted to spanking a few times.

When I put him in time out he thinks its fun, he laughs and plays, WITHOUT having any toys. I don't think spanking is a good discipline solution anyway, but especially for hitting since I believe it reinforces the behavior. We really need to get a handle on this now, with my nephew arriving in just a few more months.

Any suggestions?
