Ok, so a couple weeks ago I was telling Chris that Roy seems to be acting so much better....listening, following directions, fewer tantrums, etc. Well, since then all hell has broken loose in the Bishop home.
I love spring, and I want it to come so badly. It's been so warm here, but I am realizing that with spring comes a little 2 year old who wants out of the house constantly. Roy wants to get out of the house so bad that he has taught himself how to open the front door. He can even unlatch the dead bolt. And if for some reason he can't open the door, don't worry, he's taught himself how to get the stool, unlatch the living room window, push the screen out, and climb out. Once outside, Roy is so unpredictable. On Saturday we found him making himself at home inside the neighbors home. If you hear honking all over Blanding, it is Roy. He climbs in our cars and locks us out. He dumps out the cat and rabbit food all over the yard, and wacks our poor fruit trees with any yard tool he can find. His socks are scattered all over our yard, and his toes are covered in "owies" from not wearing shoes.
Now I know what you are thinking...."watch the kid better." All I have to say is this, "take Roy for a day, then you'll understand."
Yesterday I locked Roy INTO the house while Calvin and Andy were playing outside. What I didn't realize is that Calvin was shoeless and wearing shorts. Well, the sun started going down, and it got cool outside. They were banging on the door to come in, and I didn't hear them. So, what did they do....they decided to walk to Chris' work. It's only 3 blocks away, but still...Calvin was shoeless. I asked Calvin if anyone talked to them on the way there, and he said one of the neighbors asked where his shoes were so he told her that I had locked them outside. Man, I feel like a TERRIBLE mother, and I'm sure the neighbors think so too.
I could go on and on.
Today Roy dumped half a bottle of sunblock on Andy's head, then he put the sunblock bottle in the fridge and turned the fridge temperature all the way up. He pulled out the syrup and dumped it all over the kitchen floor, too. Urgh! I seriously am to my wits end. When I put him in timeout, he doesn't care....he'll come out, and find me and laugh when I chase him to put him back in.
Oh, please tell me this will pass.

This post makes me laugh Sarah! So boy! I am sure he will grow out of it and be a darling obedient little 4 year old one day!
Holy crap! Jocelyn thinks she has to tear the kitchen apart and throw everything out of the fridge and drawers so I make a baracade that blocks off the kitchen now. I lock the bathroom and bedroom doors and walla! But then we have Roy that will just climb out the windows. Hahahaha!! You sure do have your hands full!
I can't stop laughing after reading your post!! Why am I so happy?? Because my son Elliott is exactly the same....TROUBLE! I'm often at my wits end with him and I wonder what a normal kid is. At least hearing about another crazy kid makes me feel like we are all normal. Ha ha ha!
It sounds like you need an exorcist Sarah. That boy has the devil inside of him! Hee hee....You are obviously being punished for all the rotten things you've done in your life. The universe is saying, "take that!"
I can't believe the mayhem your little boy is causing. While I can't help but laugh (because it isn't me-finally!), I feel for you girl. It sounds like you need a permanent leash on him. Maybe you need the dog collar and doggie fence that zaps him when he leaves the perimeter. Although, he'd probably laugh at that too!
