Reid's first day with his band!

Reid got his DOC Band today and has been adjusting quite well!! Dh and I were so afraid he'd remove it constantly (he is almost 19 months old and could easily do so), but each time he reaches for the velcro, we create a huge diversion. Today was a really positive day, we really strived to make this a big deal for him, cheering him on, bought him a few new toys and just had fun! Us having this positive attitude has really helped us in answering questions from neighbors and friends who we saw already today. You see, with Reid being older, the chances of results are much diminished, and this makes it easy to feel somewhat discouraged at times. But we are trying to be very confident in our replies to people who may say "but I never even noticed his head wasn't round", because we know our attitudes will ultimately show through to our son.I think I just needed to get that off my chest for me. Sorry for rambling, but this has just been (much to our surprise) a great day, and we are so proud of our little guy. Thanks for listening and I'll keep you all posted.Reid's MomFor more plagio info

I'm so happy for you all!! The positive spin will surely shine through to

your son and you will find it will keep you at peace and on course for what

your trying to do in the first place- help your son! Good luck to you and

please post updates so that our members with older children can learn from

your experience!!
