No more tears
And, of course, five minutes later, perky as ever and playing with Legos. Reminded him to put his plate and cup in the sink after lunch.
He's still having troubles doing more than one task in a row -- he does the first task, and not the next, or he does something without doing the thing he's supposed to do before it, especially when it's phrased in the form "Do X after you do Y" -- he does X, and then is frustrated when he is reminded that he has to do Y first.
We're working on the "You should put thing from activity W down before you do activity X" thing as well. Sometimes there are multiple-parent conflicting things on this, where he very tidily goes and drops his toy in the toy box before doing something he was told to, and the other parent gets a little irritated because he didn't do it immediately, and he explains in frustration, "I was putting my toy in the toy box!" and this clears things up. At least he can carry more than one toy at a time now, when putting them away.
This is far better than the thing where he would have to be told about fifteen times to do the same thing before he would do it.
The fire siren thing is across the board, now, and not just for Marx. I am cheered -- he is treating all of us the same, now.

This happens quite regularly - especially with Kritter, and really, for *anything* she's already in the middle of when she's told to do something else by an adult. Though with her, it's an insistance on her part that she finish what she *wants* to do first.

Now, of course, sometimes he gets upset when he can't get something done before doing something else.
