Sneaking

[Guest guest]

We've noticed a problem with and I wanted to know if anyone else had

this problem or knew how to deal with it, short of not letting him out of my

sight. has started " sneaking " around and getting into things. In the

past, if he did something wrong, he'd come and get me to show me like he was

proud of it or something. Now he sneaks and only apologizes when we catch

him in the act or see the evidence. As a for-instance, we found that

sometime yesterday (probably while I was altering 7 pair of pants for

grandma - she lost 40 pounds!) he sneaked a bottle of ranch dressing, salt

and pepper shakers and sugar and poured it all into our ash bucket (from the

fireplace) as well as putting dressing in other places, like a plastic tube

he has. Last night he was tired before , so we let him go up and go to

bed - and dummy us, we didn't go up with him. I went to check and he had

squirted a whole bottle of allergy eyedrops, and a bunch of Listerine

somewhere......I about had a heart attach, thinking he had mixed it and

drank it. After a lot of screaming on my part asking him where he put it,

and he confusing it with where he got it, we discovered he mixed it (I guess

as a solution) in the toilet. He also sneaked a ball of yarn, and anyone

who knows will understand this one.....he tied up the whole downstairs

using the WHOLE ball of yarn! It was actually quite amazing, but I took it

down before Dad got home and went into thermal nuclear melt down (that's the

autistic characteristic that bugs him the most).

So, any ideas on how to deal with this? Short of watching him every second.

Our family room (and the TV) is downstairs but my sewing stuff is upstairs,

which is where I try to get sewing done on my clown bags.
