One, I am SOOO glad you are feeling good about changing bands/orthos.

Two, with the girls Amelia likes to play with Elaine's helmet too. Generally we do the saying no, seperation and redirection to try and get her interested in another toy. Generally this works ok. Sometimes it can be tiring when Amelia is really determined, but I don't know of a better way to deal with it yet.

Holly,I live in Charlotte and go to the CT office here to- they are great- My son Aidan has had his band for 3 weeks, I think we connected via this site as we both went for a consult the same day! Aidan is doing great and he just turned 5 months- we are hoping to be done end of Feb.  I had his band painted by a local artist the office gave me the name and would be happy to pass along, she did it in 2 1/2 hours, I can give you a link to see here work- she is wonderful. If you ever need anything while you are here or want to meet up let me know!Aidan has those same PJ's that your cute boy's were wearing- I love them.Aidan 3 weeks in Doc bandFrom: hollyallen04 <hollyloo@...>Plagiocephaly Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2009 2:24:58 PMSubject: day four
