One is ready for football

One of my boys needs a helmet. No, we are not sending Owen off to play for the Kansas City Chiefs -- but we are reshaping his head. Yes, that's right, Owen has been flagged with "Flat Head Syndrome." At our 6 month doctor's visit, we were informed by the pediatrician that his "flat spot" was not improving and we needed to strongly consider a cranial helmet. I never knew such a thing existed, but it does. We have scheduled an appointment to "make" his helmet in 9 days. Owen hates any sort of cap or hat we try to put on him now -- just wait until we strap this helmet on. I can already hear the screaming. At any rate, wearing this helmet will help his head return to a round shape within 4-6 months. I already have plans to decorate the helmet with the same design my beloved Kansas City Chiefs have on their helmets. Parents -- if you notice that your baby prefers to look a certain direction or sleep in the same position -- consult the pediatrician. Cranial helmets do not come cheap. Just ask Evan and Owen's Dad. I hope my wife understands that Christmas is about giving, cause she won't be receiving many gifts this year. Besides that, we already have the two most precious gifts -- our sons!
