His whine, my wine

I seriously need to vent!  Callen has been a wreck lately and is fighting back about everything.  No matter what I ask him, he whines, resists, and throws a fit.  Here are some examples:

- he had a huge meltdown at Jack's soccer game last Saturday.  He wanted to play Bey Blades with some other kids, but they haven't been getting along lately so I kept them apart. 

- his preschool class had a Halloween party last Friday and he was complaining about going because he wanted to "stay home with Dave".  When we got there, he screamed and kicked and refused to go into the building.  I went in and watched him from the front door and he just stood outside on the walkway, arms crossed in "pout position" and lower lip over his upper lip.  He eventually came in after 20 minutes and some enticing by another parent.

- and today, I had to take him to Kids Camp so I could help with Jacks Halloween party in his class.  On the way there, he started in on the whining and I reminded him that tonight was Halloween and he would be trick or treating later.  He said he didn't want to and that he wanted to stay home.  See, there is nothing I can say that he will just agree to and be happy about.  Anyway, he loves Kids Camp, but I had to carry him out of the car while he screamed and cried.  After I left, I called to check on him and, of course, he was fine and having fun. 

I feel like I am getting a taste of what his teenage years will be like.  It's scary.  The little guy is clearly tired but refuses to sleep.  Just a few minutes ago he had a fit because he wasn't allowed to play the Wii until he cleaned up his room.  After some hardcore whining, he went in his room and slammed the door.  I just checked on him and he is asleep under his art desk.  Below is a picture I took last week:

I'm at a loss...any and all ideas are welcome, as are donations of wine, beer, and earplugs.
