Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I love this. My son gets his helmet tomorrow so I am trying to prepare myself for our outings. andria, like you, I worry about my son balding. While my husband has a full head of hair, my father and most of my family are bald so the odds of him balding is very high. Good luck with future outings. I tend to be a very blunt person and hate people who stare so I am concerned about my reaction to those who do.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I get this too alot. I also get people who just ask which would be no problem but I think 1 out of 4 people ask. I said that one day I am going to say I dropped him on his head and he is paying the consequences. My son though just smiles and laughs at them. At least little kids come out and ask and it breaks the ice. I had one lady tell me that it was okay to decorate it what irked me was that for one second I thought she thought he was retarded or something.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 So far we've been asked " did he have brain surgery " or " what happened to him " at every outing. However we also always run into someone who knew a kid with a band or their own kid had one. You just have to educate the ones who don't know what it is and get advice from the ones who do. We went to a hockey game with him last weekend and decorated his band with hockey stickers. I think a lot of people just assumed it was a helmet to protect his head from flying pucks. :-) Audrey mommy to , 6 months (DOC Band) --- Heidi Bailes <bailesfam05@...> wrote: > I love this.
