Re: Silly 4th of July DOC-Band dilemma, but what would you do?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

If I were you I'd wear the band proudly! It would give you the chance

to educate many people at once. You can get stickers from any craft

store.('s,Joann's) They sell Goo Gone to remove any sticky

stuff left after you remove the stickers. Please let us know what you

decide!

Holly:

The decision is yours, but I would probably personally, take the band

off for that hour. That way he can enjoy the wind going thru his

hair & not get extra hot & sweaty.

For your sticker question, I liked the metallic (shiny) looking

stickers the best, I found they stayed on Abby's band much better

than the white ones. You could really decorate his band cute for the

4th of July!

Let us know what you decide to do! Hehe, your post made me

chuckle
