Dear Kristi,

You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!! My daughter has had her helmet for three weeks and

we have been out and about everywhere and we haven't had one negative response.

Most people just look and say, oh how adorable. Only a few people have said oh

she is so cute- what is her helmet for, but very nicely. Now it is really no

big deal to go anywhere, your baby is still adorable!!!!!! Just love your baby

how you usually do and that will show!!!!!!!! Happy Halloween!!
