Stuart was acting out. Hitting and throwing things, nothing unusual. I decided to talk to him about it. Afterwards I was saying:
Dad: When we are angry, we can say “I’m angry!”
Stuart: I’m angry!
D: “I want to use my hands.”
S: I want to use my hands.
D: “I want to throw things.”
S: I want to throw things.
D: “I’m going to the playroom to throw my beanbags.”
S: I’m going to the playroom to throw my beanbags.
D: Those are all things we can say when we are angry, Stuart.
S: “Those are all things we can say, Stuart.”

A short list of things Stuart did today.
- Took a loaf of bread at Nature Bake and started spinning it round and round.
- Again at NatureBake, took a stalk of wheat from a sheaf on the wall and beat it on the floor.
- Swept all the books off the coffee table onto the floor
- Took one of the sock monkey ornaments and dropped it in the toilet while Tory was pooping.
- Grabbed an unopened half galon of milk from the fridge and dropped it behind the couch, where it landed on some wall warts, which punched a hole in the bottom of it
Needless to say, it was a busy day.

Tory: He kicked me!
Joh: And then you hit him.
Tory: No. I hit him first.
