We are up at LOC again tomorrow - I don't think there will be any change as I measured his head with a tape measure and it is still only around 50 cm.
We've had a couple of issues. We have had great weather here, lots of lovely warm sunny spring days. Finley's head got a bit pink where there is a gap in the helmet. Normally we would have put a sun hat on him but this is just impossible. I'm spraying factor 30 on the exposed part of his head and rubbing it in his hair. Not ideal.
Finley has had a helmet free 24 hours due to temperature and sickness. I think he has had more trouble sleeping without it actually!
I dont know how anyone can get used to it. I hate it already. I cannot kiss or stroke Finley when he needs consoling and I really miss that. In the lovely weather it just seems a bit cruel for him to sweating underneath it. He gets quite a lot of attention but most people think that I am some over protective mother who doesnt want him to bash his head on anything.
I've been lurking on an American message board for older kids with this problem It seems that children older than 2 can be fitted with a helmet, albeit after a long struggle with health professionals. Then they just wear it at night. I would love that to be the case with Fin. I cant see them agreeing to this at LOC though - Peter thinks we would only get 50% of the benefit.
