We are getting our Starband Helmet on Wednesday

[Guest guest]

We had our casting last week at Hanger in Topeka. Our ortho seemed

very knowledgeable and did very well with the casting. She

actually tried to go to sleep during it.

We have our appoint to get the helmet next Wednesday in the morning. I

am assuming they will tell us she should wear it an hour, take off an

hour that first day. My (slightly silly) question is should I go ahead

and keep her home from daycare that day? She's normally very

agreeable - but I don't know what she will be like with the helemet and

wondering how other mothers handled this.

I'm nervous on all levels for the helmet. I already miss her head. I

am dreading coming up with good comments for when we are out in public

and preparing myself for what to tell our 2 year old when she tells me

she wants one. (She's going through a very jealous stage right now.)

Anything else I should be prepared for?
