Last night, I rounded the corner from the kitchen and was talking to Alex in his room, when I noticed he was chewing on something. When I asked him about it, he promptly ran and hid behind his door, but I could see that he was fishing something out of his mouth. I kept asking him what it was, and I would either get "nothing" or no answer at all. I could tell that he had hidden it in his little kitchen, but I wanted to give him the opportunity to admit to it. He never did.
I told him playtime was over and made him go to the bathroom to get ready for bed. While he was out of the room, I discovered 3 pieces of chewed up gum, and one piece of yet unchewed gum hidden in his kitchen. We then took away all of his toys and books.
Today, he was told to leave a plant alone outside. When his dad turned his back, he caught him sneaking 2 bites of the "chocolate mint" plant. He put him in timeout.
Later, he was caught sipping on a juicebox he had smuggled into his room and hidden in his kitchen. The kitchen is now GONE!
