Friday evening was not a good one at our house. OLA went into meltdown mode after being told that he had to change activities (obviously he did not want to change). Chaos reigned at our house. He threw a plant across the table and floor. (Believe it or not the plant actually survived - even with all the dirt he launched in the shaking and throwing).
Chairs were tipped over and the table eventually ended up half way across the kitchen. The sofas in both the family room and the living room were pushed across their respective rooms.
The garbage can was shoved over. He also tipped over a bucket of toys that was waiting to be taken back down to the basement out of the way.
Books were launched across the room - a few were even thrown at me. Because I was obviously the bad guy - since I was the one that was not allowing him to continue with the a fore mentioned activity!!
Before he was finished he had also trashed his bedroom. Including clothes out of draws and closet. Sheets on the floor, mattress off the bed and toys/books launched to the opposite end of the room. But some how through it all there was no major casualties to people, animals or objects. The craziness continues. It would be great if we could find a way to lessen the trauma and stress for OLA as well as the rest of the family.
