Thanks Mel. He did it again today after his sleep. He was carrying on like a pork chop but wouldn't get off his bed even though the door was open and I told him to come out whenever he was ready. He yelled out that his tummy was sore again. Andy went in to ask him to show him where and then I went in also and asked him other places hurt too just to try to guage if he's just saying yes or not. I think there could be another possibility too and that is with this horrible heat and humidity we've been having he really, in my opinion, does not drink enough water and apparently that can cause some tummy cramps too.

As for faking it, yep he does that and it drives me batty lol. He will just start to do that "fake cry" which sounds more like an animal in misery and won't stop!! I've resorted to telling him that I'm not speaking to him whilst he's doing that and that when he's finished I'll speak to him again and then walking away lol. Doesn't last all that much longer usually. Thanks again Mel for your help
