So, in addition to the constant chewing of things (luckily, Milo prefers pencils over more expensive things like electronics ...) the biggest problem we have with Milo is his constant stealing of things (like said pencils).
Objects are one thing (and he's pretty good about giving it up when someone says "mine"), but lately he's started jumping up and stealing snacks out of my younger son's hands.
I've noticed for a while now that it seems like Milo "gets" that No. 2 son is at the bottom of our family "pack" and tries to battle him for higher status. And I'm sure the food stealing (and leg humping, which is another problem) are related to that.
Anyone else deal with this? Any suggestions? Right now we're pushing him firmly but gently off (when humping) and using a weak vinegar water solution to spray his way when he jumps up.
