Helmet-Day 2

We are on Day 2 of our helmet wear.  It is going okay.  Henry still has a little bit of a cold, so I guess that doesn't help a whole lot.  For the first two days, you basically do 1 hour on, 1 hour off.  You can do more if the child isn't bothered, and we have been able to do a couple hour stretches here and there.  It's not been all that bad, but at certain times he will tug at it and cry for it to come off.  Most of the time though, he pays it no mind. 
Yesterday, Day 1, was a long, tiring day.  We (as in, myself, Henry, Dustin, Carson, and Emilynn) all left at 8:15 yesterday morning.  It is a 1 hr 15 min- 1 hr 30 min drive to the appointment, depending on traffic.  Dustin's Dad got really sick and wasn't able to go, so we had to regroup last minute.  Dustin decided to just ride with me, because he didn't want me going so far alone, in not the best section of town by myself.  You never when you could have car trouble (like my flat tire a few weeks ago), and he just really likes to go with me.  So, I packed up lots of movies, snacks, a small bag of toys for each twin, and our travel potty...and away we went.  We had to wake the kids up- Emilynn said, "You woke us up!" very grouchily when we stirred her!  It was 1 hr. 30 min appointment, and at the end of it Henry was done.  He was tired of being fiddled with I guess.  We then got lunch at Ruby Tuesday- a disaster because I think all 3 kids were done by this point, then headed home.  We were all exhausted!!!  Henry cried until I laid him in his bed for a late nap.  He just wanted some alone time to himself I think! 
We will keep plugging along with the on/off times today and the next few days.  He is supposed to be on the 23 hours per day by the 5th day, Sunday.  We'll see how that goes.  We go next Wednesday for a follow up to re-adjust the helmet and make more cuts to fit it better, depending on how it wore this week. 
Tonight we start dance back up for Emilynn, I hope to get the Christmas decorations down today.  Tomorrow is the twins' 3 year check up!  I can't believe they are 3.   That is closer to a big kid than I think I'm comfortable with!  Two was kind of still towards the "baby" side of things.  My baby, Henry will be 1 next month!  My how times flies! 
Next week is the helmet appt, then week after that will be the twins dental check up, then I have a dental appointment.   Lots of appointments going on!  How DO people work and have kids?  I'll never know!!! 
I think we'll go every week for a few weeks until we get the fit and adjustments right. 
Will try to post a pic soon, I have had no time to upload any pics.  I want to upload some from the kids' digital cameras-their pics are hilarious.  We got one of our waitress at the Mexican restuarant!  You never know what those kiddos are snapping pics of!!!!
