Well, Nathan hasn't calmed down AT ALL!!! We did have the sectional sofa delivered for the playroom on Fri. The boys love it, it's blue with the micro suede---feels really soft. They love playing on it, mostly pillow fights!!
We have their rooms and the playroom pretty much in order, except for a couple of things. But everything is out of boxes for them. He's sleeping fine at night (even skipped the melatonin twice!) But during the day, lots of stimming, hyper, loud talking, whining, and problems focusing. Although, Tyler is so worked up too. The house has so much room for them, that they're taking advantage of all of it!!!
Tyler just wants to play games (board games). He's trying to make Nathan do this too. Not working so much!! Nathan loses focus, can't understand, gets too worked up, wants to do something else, etc. It's frustrating for both of them. They're both getting older, and they're just both at different levels.
I'm still trying to get things organized. Not sure where to put things, trying to decorate a bit. I had to light some candles though....the house still had that "new" smell.....didn't feel like home! I am getting tired of all the unpacking. I've been taking more breaks, trying to relax. I can't wait til I get everything done!!

How exciting, Michelle! I can well identify with the chaos, as we are in the middle of setting up Cassian's new room, the baby's sleeping space (near our bed), diapering area, etc. Cassian's room has been in disarrary for months, and I am just hoping it will be finished before the baby arrives. We are finally painting his castle bed, which his father had to build. We put a closet system together for him, but pieces were missing, so it is not complete. Cassian has been super stimmy as a result. Arrrrrrrrgh! I know just what you are going through, and I hope things come together for you soon.
