toddler discipline

We were supposed to have J's 18 mth visit, but it turned into a sick visit. H was able to come too, so we still asked our questions (since the time was blocked off for the longer appt anyway).  J's been testing boundaries hardcore of late.  For example, he'll mess with the cable box and dvd player by pushing them around/almost off the shelf (knowing he's not supposed to touch them). He'll look at us while doing this and smile, then keep doing it when we verbally redirect.  I've been physically redirecting him as well by picking him up and removing him from the situation.  Our ped said the most effective discipline right now is doing short time outs, right after the offense happens.  She suggested having a pack n play set up and popping him in it for 1-2 minutes when he does it.  She also said only pick a couple offenses to discipline at a time or else he would get overwhelmed.  I can't believe we're at this point in their development! Time needs to slow down.
