The Helmet


My dearest darling son, is perfect to me in so many ways, so it pains me to say that his head was well a little flat. Because of the "Back to Sleep" program, I was a little aggressive in making sure he was on his back when he was sleeping, plus he favored his left side for sleeping on, resulting in a flat head. Was it my fault, a little, was it the people who try and prevent SIDS fault? Nah, cause I would much rather have a flat head issue than a babe who died of SIDS. So the pediatrician suggested we go see a flat head specialist. So we headed to the specialist who spent less than 10 minutes with us, and said we had no choice but to get our son a nifty helmet that helps direct the brain and head to make it perfectly round. Since I want my little baby boy to be a handsome man (like Brad Pitt.) We went for it. David was concerned over the fact that his ears were not symmetrical.

Anyway wee one goes to this place where they make prosthetic s to get his special, made just for him, more expensive than a NFL football helmet, helmet. After a little bit of work getting accustomed to it-- mostly for Mom who likes to stroke his sweet, sweet, strawberry blond hair he is now a pro at head butting!!! After the first month by the way his first scan showed significant improvement in the rounding of his head.
