difficult child 1 asked if he could have a friend over and I (over joyed that someone would come over) said yes. Stupid me. Then I found out that the friend was a girl that difficult child 1 had been letting get in front of him in line every day. O.k. not as good as a guy friend but I'll still let her come over. Then when the day comes I pick her up from school with difficult child 1. She says that difficult child 1 has been writing her love notes. These notes have hearts all over them. And that difficult child 1 loves her. It got worse from there. The first thing they do when we get home is go into his room and shut the door. O.K. most times I'm telling him to keep his door shut so his brothers won't get in there. So, I go in and tell him that for now he needs to have his door open and I'll put up something to keep the babies out. Then difficult child 1 and friend go into the closet. I kick them out of the closet. Then its under the bed. Then they turn the wading pool over to hide under there. ARGHHHH. This is a little girl that drew her self portrait last year crying. I think difficult child 1 has found a target with a low self esteem. After she leaves (thank you that it was a short visit) difficult child 1 starts packing up toys for presents to her. She (or any other girl) isn't coming over again. Tommorrow I get to talk to the teacher about this. I'm not looking forward to it.
Also, difficult child 1 has been saying he is going to kill himself again. I think its mostly to get a reaction out of me. Still I'm going to tell the therapist and psychiatrist again.
difficult child 2 has been climbing over everything. This morning I found him on top of his dresser. I had left the top drawer open because difficult child 1 had made himself sick downstairs while I was getting the other kids dressed. I come back upstairs see difficult child 2 standing on the dresser and say "No, climbing!" difficult child 2 then steps into the open drawer making the dresser top heavy. I scream and reach him before the dresser starts tipping. It hasn't been a good morning and the dresser is going to be moved out of their room.
