tears

For the last month Nathan has been extra sensitive to any loud, high pitched or sudden noise. Any of these set him off into tears and extreme clinginess. Babies crying, toddlers screaming, plates clanging, toys banging the list seems to be growing. It doesn't seem to matter if his hearing aide is on or off. It is extremely difficult as in most of the places we go and the groups that we interact with toddlers and babies are present. Toddlers generally don't like to share toys, toddlers fall over or bump heads, toddlers squeal and cry. It seems we get over one incident and then another child will squeal or cry and we begin again.

Nathan was very sensitive to loud noises when he first came home from hosiptal but he has greatly improved and it seemed for the last year it hasn't been an issue. I am not sure what has brought on this behaviour. Hope it doesn't last too long.
