LOL @ drinking milk from her shoes! Bless.

We had a similar problem with ds2, but it was the bin. I've lost many pieces of cutlery and a few cups in my bin. And I'm sure even a shoe at some point.

We got round the problem by giving him different things to put in different places, like cup=sink crisp packet=bin toy=bedroom. One word places to go, an build up from there. Took a good month though, but worth it.

ds2 has been fine today. He is having one of his "less autistic" days today iykwim. Been really well behaved which has been nice. I love days like these. Not a lot of melt downs, eats a lot of food, plays with his brother. DS3 (or the Sumo) has slept through for the past 2 nights, fingers crossed he does a repeat tonight as I'm having a bottle glass of rose and DS1 is stopping at his grandads, a rare treat for him. Its been a good day .

How is yours? Any items ended up in the sink that shouldn't?

DS2 also went through a stage of trying to flush things down the toilet, even though he wont use it. This included a kitten (which we had to rehome), several toilet rolls and himself.
