Re: Graduation around the corner CAN'T KEEP BAND ON

[Guest guest]

Crista,

I did the exact same thing!!! That is so funny!! I, too, got so sick

of cleaning that thing and I also wanted to see my little guys head.

We have a mirror on the wall across from 's changing table and

during his last week, I would take off his band at almost every

diaper change and admire him in the mirror! Isn't that weird?! I

think it is just the excitement that it is actually almost over!!

I can't wait to hear that is an official graduate!

Crista,

It's kind of like the end of the school year when you feel the need

to take those extra " sick " days, lol. I do remember feeling like

that when we were finishing up #2 (and weren't planning on #3),

thinking a few days wasn't going to make a difference if she was

awake and off her head anyway. But, with two weeks left, you could

still potentially gain another millimeter or two! You'll have his

whole life to enjoy his round head, but you might as well get every

ounce of correction you can while the thing still fits him .

I don't blame you - I'd be the same way! But I am glad that the

others have re-energized and motivated you to just stick with it

diligently for the last few days. I'm so happy for you. I know

looks great and will continue to grow out even more

naturally. So it will be about 4 mos. total then? I think we may

approach 4 mos total as well even though it is " warranted " for 3 mos

only by the O & P company we go to. Not sure what is up with that...
