Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today is St. Patrick's Day and mommy took photos of me to put on a photo card for immediate family.   She bought a green tie with 4 leaf clovers on it and daddy tied it for her and they put it around my neck.  I'm a big boy, I can wear a tie like Daddy.  Mommy will try to upload the photo card but if it doesn't work, she'll attach a picture to this post soon. 

So. not only did I wear green today but mommy took me to Cranial Technologies to get my helmet.  The technician put my new helmet aka DOC Band on my head and saw how I wore and adjusted to it.  Then about a 1/2 hour later she took it off to see if any of the pressure points irritated my head.  Where it did, they took the helmet and shaved down the specific areas so it wouldn't rub my head.  Once we were done, it was time to leave.  I had my new DOC Band on and I refused to sit in my car seat with it.  I cried.  So mommy took it off just for the ride home and then once we got home she put it back on.  The rules were I could take it off every 3-4 hours to check for redness on my head.  Once any redness faded, the helmet went back on.  I don't like this helmet but mommy said it will help me in the long run.  When it was time to goto bed, I refused to sleep with it on.  So mommy made a bed for us in my room and stayed with me all night.  I felt better to have her with me and I was able to fall asleep.
