Numbers 4 and 5 are an accurate description of his actions these days. He wants the whole house to have the same level of mess on the floor. There shouldnt be a section of the floor that doesn't have SOMETHING on it that shouldn't be there... Sometimes it's pretty frustrating to come home and not be able to step. Then again, last night I did help him in his 'Agent of Entropy' business, he was getting in that manic "No, I don't need sleep, see how I am playing' phase where he was pulling everything down off the play area. Finally I couldn't stand it any longer and I took his basket of beads and helped him fling them across the living room floor. Then we took a stack of napkins and threw them up into the air so they would flutter down around us..
Actually , it felt pretty good.
