I think Matthew is trying to run away. He hasn't spoken a word since getting in the car at school, so for almost an hour now he has been totally silent. He's glaring at me. He went and picked up his scooter, put it in the carrying case, slung it over his shoulder and tried to walk out the front door.

Of course, we have a latch about 5 1/2 feet up the door, so he can't open it. Now he's just standing at the front door glaring at me.

Not quite sure what happened at school, but he has totally withdrawn into himself. Now he is looking for somewhere to plug in the box fan. Who knows where this is going.

I know talking to him will do no good, so I just need to let him work it out and then talk to him when he starts speaking again.

EDIT: He has just pulled a dining room chair over to the front door to get to the upper latch. Guess I need to get my shoes on and prepare for the chase.
