Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Sohnia, I remember when Livy got her helmet. Has it been 5 months already? Congrats to you both on being done!!!! Enjoy that helmet free head!! I wonder if the kids in the toddler room will miss their play toy? > Hi all!

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Woohoo Sohnia! I'm so happy for you guys! I hope you're able to get Livy's pics posted. If you keep having trouble you can email them to and she can do it. I hope she's feeling back to normal soon! I hope you'll stick around here! , mom to Hannah, DOCband #3 Cape Cod, Ma > Hi all!
