Little Man's Helmet

My little man, prior to getting his new helmet.

A week ago, Geoffrey officially started wearing his new helmet.  I'm going to try to periodically post pictures on the blog to document his progress.  I've been running through a wide array of emotions over the past week, but I think I'm starting to get settled into this new routine.  Every evening, I give Geoffrey a bath, allowing his head to not only be cleansed, but also to air out the skin.  His head temperature has yet to adapt to this new contraption that is on his head 23/24 hours a day, and just recently, he started to get a heat rash. :(  As you can imagine, this is affecting his sleep, both at night and during the day, causing our solid sleeper and content little boy to become a bit more fussy and distraught.  It is challenging to watch him struggle through the moments of discomfort, knowing exactly how to fix it, but not doing it.  I know it is for the very best, and that is what keeps me pushing through this day in and day out.  One week down - we will make it!

Waiting for the doctor to return with his newly fitted helmet.

Maddie, checking out the new look.

Geoffrey, repaying the favor.
