The worst part has for sure been not being able to snuggle up with him like I want to. We don't co-sleep but in the mornings when Max wakes at 6 a.m. and I am not quite ready to get up, I put him right beside us and get a few minutes of morning love. I cannot wait until I can do that without the helmet's velcro strap scratching my face. The bulky plastic is right between my boy and I and it is finally time for it to go.
That is wonderful. No more helmet head, but I can't help but worry.
Is Max going to miss his helmet? Will it be hard for him to adjust without it?
He has worn the camouflage kinderBAND for twenty three hours a day for three months. That is almost half his life.
When we take it off for that one hour a day, he immediately grabs his hair. After just a few minutes, it is obvious that Max wants his hat back on. It has become somewhat like his security blanket.
I am a Mom. I am allowed to worry about whatever I want and honestly it isn't like I have much control over it anyway. When we started this process, I would have never thought a concern of mine would be removing the helmet.
Only three more days until my sweet boy is helmet free. I am hoping he adjusts as easily to not having a helmet as he did to getting it.
