-scratched Sara while acting like a Cheetah

-knocked down Linnea's towers continuously

-chased Kyla growing like a Cheetah

-stretched out his legs during Trey's turn on trampoline (in order to trip him, I think)

-acted like he was going to pour red Gatorade all over car

-refused to help with chores

-smacked me hard on the bum, then said "I couldn't help myself, I had to."

-making loud, repetitive noises

-hiding

-scaring the kids

-teased dogs, especially the one he knows is timid and may nip

-went to give me a hug, and then scratched my arms deeply down each side

Days 3-6

-helped himself to a video after we went to bed and after I asked him to leave the TV alone

-consistently refused to do the smallest tasks

-climbed in my bed while I was still asleep (twice)

-tried to climb in bed between Nick and I, early a.m.

-sung, or screamed at the top of his lungs repeatedly. Does not stop when asked

-took my book and ran with it, couldn't "remember" where he put it

-knew he was riding Trey's new bike, and purposefully rammed it into the driveway, laughed (almost gleefully) when I asked him to be gentle

-acted like he was stuck in the baby swing at the park, I checked things out and saw that he was NOT stuck. He was being very funny, so I just tried to take him out with his help. He kept pushing against me, when I would get him part way out he would purposefully slide back in. Then he starts crying hysterically, totally out of the blue. I pulled him out, without his help, and he runs off wailing. He hid under a blanket the rest of our time at the park.

-grabs my food (special crackers) while he is eating his own food, and after being told not to

-he was very angry with me all day after speaking to his Mom. He would slam doors, and hold the doors so the little kids couldn't get in.

-looked confused and surprised when I asked him to behave himself in our home, and quit locking the kids out

-told Sara to stop talking twice, when she didn't he told her he was going to "crush her head til it bleeds"

-has picked up Ginger (Pug) after repeatedly told not to. Hugs her very hard, lays on her body

-walks by Sophie (Shepherd-mix) and says "STOP!" to her every time, even tho he's been asked not to. Teases her, even tho he knows she does not trust him

-stood on TOP of the piano

-banged on piano after being asked to stop repeatedly

-threw Lego's across the van, hard

-scratched Kyla's neck in the van, under the pretense of "tickling"

-pinched Kyla's leg in the van (I saw thru rear view mirror, I *did* move him to another seat)

-was told not to get on the computer about 6-7 times, and every time I came back he was on the computer playing a game

-took chicken from the fridge right after breakfast, while being told not to touch

-ran behind Kyla and scared her

Basically, I cannot leave him alone. I cannot get him to do ANYTHING. I cannot trust him with the children, or the animals. Obviously my feelings have changed, and I am GREATLY saddened that we do not find it possible for us to help him. I wish we all knew what happened to him before he was 4, I wish I knew how to help him :o(.
