Day 1 with helmet

Fin’s first day of helmet wear. We are not very good at putting it on and his hair keeps getting caught as we clumsily take it on and off. Peter gave Fin a very fierce haircut while I was out, almost bald around the ears. I think this is better though, his head gets very sweaty in the helmet and his hair had been stuck to his head when we took the helmet off. Hopefully this will be more comfortable for him. We did 3 hours of wear today at hourly intervals. He seemed ok with it and not particularly bothered. It’s easy to think that when he is crying it’s because of the helmet but he soon stops if we feed him or rest him just like normal.

His character seems to have really changed after his haircut – he seems to be zipping about the place much faster and getting cheekier by the minute.!!
