Each time Ella sits in her time-out stool, she is just devastated that Mommy or Daddy is upset with her. When we finally rescue her from her time-out (usually only 2-3 minutes long), we approach her and ask: "Are you ready to be a big girl?" She wipes away her tears, stands up, and greets us with a hug laying her head on our shoulders. That is her way of saying she is sorry.
Tonight, she actually told me "sowwy" when we were sitting on the floor. I already forget what she did, but evidently she knew she wanted to bypass the time-out that she knew she deserved. Smooth.
