Today has been a little difficult. Alden didn't get a very good night sleep because between himself and his brother one or the other was coughing all night. This morning between not feeling 100% and not getting enough sleep Alden has been cranky and not willing to communicate. I have had to play 20 questions 3x already to figure out what he wanted. On the other hand (just like his mommy) when he doesn't feel good he turns into a snuggle bug and has gone to his big brother a few times for love and comfort. I have to say that is one of the sweetest sights in the world. Watching Alden initiate affection, and his big brother (who is still too young to understand) embrace him even if it interrupts what he was doing.
The boys getting sick couldn't have come at a worse time. We close on our new home tomorrow and I'm very nervous about this transition for Alden. I'm planning on taking him over to the new house to play and explore for periods of time before we just move in. If anyone else has any ideas or suggestions to make this change for an autistic child I am all ears!
