Re: new plagio mom

Hi !

My son just started wearing his Hanger helmet yesterday and he goes

to day care. Today was actually his 1st day at day care with the

helmet. The workers at my day care are fantastic and they all thought

he looked cute with the helmet. I am in a trial period now so I just

had to tell them when to take it off and how to clean it. My son is 5

mo old. When I brought him in the room today all the other kids were

just very interested in seeing him since it is something new that

they are not used to seeing. Same thing with a new toy they want to

know everything about it until it is not so new anymore. Well when I

went to see my son at lunch time today all the kids there had already

forgot about his helmet and were just playing as usual.

Hope this helps!! Dont fret kids this young do not make judgement

calls on each other!
