- how did it go?

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Yes it's my Aidan ! There are alot of Aidan's! He was casted

at CT last week, hated it, but forgot about it once he realized he

was hungry and I had a bottle for him (that's when we got the pic of

him smiling and full of plaster).

I am pretty confident in CT and that he will do well in the band, I

just go through alot of thoughts about what I should have done, when

I should have done it, etc. I think I was in helmet denial between

his 6 & 9 month check up while I continued repo'ing him. Like that

flat spot would just *pop* overnight!

Just realized today is the day you were supposed to get 's doc

band how did it go? I am looking forward to hearing about it....

Take care,

& Aidan (10 months, doc band ~ 7/20) in CT
