No more disassembling...........

So we are on Tuesday now. A good day overall so far. He's been more mad at the behaviorist than at me. But I do not understand how he gets some of his ideas. He got made at L the behaviorist. Decided to lock us out of the house.

Again, no big deal, I have keys if we need to get in. But it is also a sign that he doesn't want us around. Fine. But what he does next - is an ugh moment. And I didn't even know he did it until a while later. He locked the front door. But then he took a screw driver and attempted to take the dead bolt off. I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish. Except he did get the back of the lock off (inside the house) so it was stuck.

He was wanting my attention as L was leaving. This is transition time. He was a little short with me. But I was just being patient, so that he would not escalate. Until I saw what he did. I said, what is that all about? He just said oh, I was trying to take the lock off. NO>>>>>> I told him he had to fix it.

He attempted to. He was trying and I saw that.

I knew he wasn't going to be able to do it- I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do it.

But these are the moments that frustrate me so much- because now I"m going to have to spend the next 30 minutes or however long it takes me to figure this out FIXING what mess he created. He finally said this is all I could do and went in the other room.

At least he tried. Now make room for mom and I have to see if I can fix it! I did eventually- it did take some time. But I hopefully got it back functioning again.

But when he wanted my attention I was no longer available- this is one of those bummer moments. Shouldn't have tried to disassemble something :)

But as of 6:00pm no major behaviors, no restraint, don't even think he's thrown something at me. Pretty good by my standards.

We'll just have to see how transition from outside football time with dad goes, dinner, potty, bedtime. But I"m hopeful.

He's been coping better today. Even using his words to tell L to go away.

Well, we all consider that socially acceptable. So yeah!

It's the name calling, yelling, behavior to say go away that isn't acceptable. So again, a positive moment. He didn't want her around, so he simply told her that. Okay! Way to go!

Just hope we have no disassembling of "things" that I do not approve of. Because sometimes I"m not so handy at putting it back together.

We never know what that one is capable of.

He's smart I tell ya!
