Hi Sue,

Poor little Riley! We know exactly how you feel. 's between

helmets right now as he's outgrown his first. And of course, he just

starting crawling and cruising. Yikes! We can't WAIT to get that

helmet back on his little head. Give Riley's forehead kisses from us

all...

I have to say I agree. My son Spencer is the same way. I think that

all the kids wearing any kind of helmet or band aren't used to the

way it feels if they hit their head. Spencer will fall and laugh all

the time. He fell one night recently after taking it off and got a

huge knot on his forhead. He was REALLY MAD. I think that's going

to be the hardest part of all of our little ones coming out of their

helmets or bands.

Good luck to you all.
