I'm sorry. But I bet this will be a lot harder on you than it will on her. She'll adapt in no time and be so much happier in the long run. Hugs to you.
That little guy is SO cute and Ginny will be too! It will go by fast (her helmet time) hang in there!!
Wheee!

I think I know another SAIFer whose DC went through this. I'm posting here to mark your post and will try to reach her for you. I'm sure Ginny will be fine, and will look so cute too, as the others have said!

I am sorry
DS nearly had to get a cranial band, too (they have those as an option here).
I would decorate it with stickers, paint, etc. Hell, go get it profesionally done at a monogram shop or something!
Just remember it's going to bother you more than it does her. And know that I think she'll look adorable in her helmet!!

Yep, she is one of those kids that looks adorable regardless of what she is wearing. I think a custom paint job on the helmut is definetly in order.
