My son just turned 3 yesterday and this reminds me so much of something he'd do so I'm enjoying reading the replies too. I can relate to the feeling of not wanting to go back inside! That's usually my problem disciplining outside too I don't want to go back in or deal with the meltdown that would follow if I did take him in for doing something 'wrong'. So in this situation do you ignore any ensuing meltdown? When would it be okay to go back outside again? No garden stomping here but lately DS is obsessed with turning our water on which drives me crazy! He eventually is distracted but I'd say it takes a good 6 attempts (moving his hand, suggesting something else to play, and my yeah empty threats of going inside...) on my part. There are time he's allowed to have it like when we water the garden or fill up the pool but just pointlessly spraying water on the ground is not cool lol.
