Thank you both for your replies. In response, yes Rockie has a boat load of toys in his toy basket and he can have them whenever he wants. The problems as I believe he sees it is that if no one is playing with him he will make you play with him by taking something. For the longest time whenever he would take something other than his toy I would swap it and say "that's not yours, give him his toy, and say this is yours" and play with him. Sometimes we have to chase him because he takes things that could be a choking hazard or as in the case of Emma's barbies, he turns tends to dismember parts of their bodies. I know that chasing him enables his game but when we are not home he does the same things and we can look out in the backyard which will look like a yard sale sometimes. If some items are big enough to resemble a bone, he will bury them and some have gone missing for awhile--just now he has grabbed the kids gameboy case with games (don't know how he can pick that up--and run out of the room). We have come to call him "El Diablo" instead of his given name--yikes!!
