Re: Ready to Graduate

[Guest guest]

We're a week behind you, my son will FINALLY graduate from his

DOCBand (Charlotte) two Fridays from now. I really don't think

there's much to ask at the exit. How old is your son? Regression

only happens about 1% of the time, so that should hopefully not be a

concern. They will do measurements and photos, as well as the DSi

scan. I plan to get an exit mold poured, it's an extra $75 bucks,

but I really want the 3D comparison to have as a keepsake (we'll

have 3 head molds total after 2 bands, not sure what I'll do with

them....book ends?). He will stop wearing the band cold turkey. I've

seen many parents leaving the office with their head molds with the

band on it. I don't know about you, but I'm very much looking

forward to that moment when I know I won't ever have to put the band

back on him again! Congratulations on graduating!
