oops I fell asleep around 530am

shortly after my last post, I fell asleep. at around 5:30am, I just couldn’t keep my eyes open.  at 6:24am, I hear David running across the kitchen.  he managed to steal one of the keys from my key ring, and then break into his brother’s bedroom and steal his brother’s cell phone.  tell me that is compulsive behavior… I don’t believe compulsion is planned out like that is it?

530am is it bedtime?

Coming up on 530am here in whynotfathers.com land.  David has slept through the night for the most part.  There was a spot where he thought I was sleeping and tried to sneak out of the room, but I nipped that in the bud really quick.  Other than stretching in his sleep it has been uneventful. I sleep in the same room as David.  He has gotten more stealthy in his approach to leaving a room, so before where I used to wake up when he moved around, not so much anymore.  As a result, I am on the night shift, and my wife and eldest daughter will share the day shift. Now if I could just get some work stuff done, but every time I start working on a website, he wakes up.   Have a good a day my friends. Tweet #fighting4answrs

David is under constant supervision now.  He can’t do anything.  No less than 4 times today he has stolen someone’s cell phone.  We feel like we are going crazy because we don’t let him out of our sight, yet he is still getting the phones. He is constantly back talking and sassing mom and I.  If we tell him not to do something he does it anyway.  If we tell him to stand up, he sists down.  The last means of discipline that we used was to have him under a blanket for a period of not more than 15 minutes.  He won’t do that any more.  For those of you who would have me spank him… why?  It won’t make any difference.  He just looks at the person giving it to him and asks for more. We have threatened to take him back to the hospital, but they will
