[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 176952, member: 3444"] Susie, WO, Mstng, Terry, Janet, SaraT, Christy, Butterfly, Mary, Heather, Tessa, AmyH... What can I say except "MISERY LOVES COMPANY!!!" It's comforting to know you've all had the same stuff happen to you ;) Andy, I have started to give him more freedom in the kitchen, albeit somewhat supervised, though. He's allowed to cook quesadillas on the stove if I'm around, and he's pretty proficient with the microwave. I like the idea of getting easy-to-follow recipes for him to try on his own. Christy and Linda, I like the idea of the pump bottle for shampoo. He and I went to the store today and I let him pick a shampoo in a pump bottle with the explicit understanding that if he can't handle using it (taking only one or two squirts) then I would lock everything up and he'd have to ask me to give him just the right amount for his showers/baths from now on. I even had him look me in the eye, REPEAT the promise to me, shake hands and pinky swear... :D Shari -- I don't know why he thought he could fool me with water in the bottle! Witz -- that's typical logic for him... Heather -- difficult child 1 is NOTORIOUS for showering until the hot water runs out and then comes out with his hair dry on top, or wet but smelling like a dog, and swearing up and down that he WASHED his hair! WITH SHAMPOO! So I have him who WON'T use bath products and difficult child 2 who uses too much... Okay, I feel better now :D [/QUOTE]
