DS2 (4) has in the last few days...

[schneebly]

...Twice weed on the floor. He only admitter it when asked several times and said he couldn't make it to the loo in time but it wasnt even near the loo and he actually took his willy out of his trousers to do it

He has also twice gotten up very early in the morning and snaffled a LOT of food/snacks. He also lied about this blaing the dog and he even hid the wrappers under the sofa.

He is normally very well behaved indeed and I barely have to tell him off for anything. Is he bored becaue it is the holidays and demanding attention? We have had a few days out and he has a brother to play with - I have been a little pre-occupied with University assignments tho'...

AAAARGH any ideas?

Is he getting enough sleep? My DD reverts to terrible behaviour when she's had a late night and then gotten up early (of her own accord).

It sounds like boredom/attention seeking to me.Could you let him have a little timetable of nice things that will happen eg if you play with db till mummy has finished writing we will bake biscuits/go to the swings/build a lego tunnel for your train.Put snacks out of reach/sight.Put a potty in the room with him and tell him that if he cant get to the toilet he can use the potty like he did when he was a baby.
All will be well.

Thanks for the replies - I think it could be a little bit of both those things tbh. Because it is the holiday we have allowed him to stay up later and he is still rising early so probably tired and yes probably a bit bored as well. I have just taken them out for a couple of hours and they are now having lunch in the garden picnic style. I am taking a day off from the essay writing...until they go to bed at least which will be at a reasonable time. I have also printed out some nice easter eg design we will colour together.
