Fun with Plagiocephaly!

Little Man has plagiocephaly (Play-Gee-O-Seph-Ah-Lee) which is a fancy word for a flat head.



Well, to fix the problem he has to wear a corrective helmet for a few months (average is 12-16 weeks).
Information on the helmet and plagiocephaly: http://www.starbandkids.com/

It's not a fancy helmet, so to give it some character, I've decorated it with stickers.

So far we've had an ocean theme, since we were on vacation at a beach

(Seen here sleeping on his aunt)

For Independence Day, I put red,. white, and blue stars all over it. Can't find a pic of that now...

And right now, in honor of The Crazy One (our dog), I decorated the helmet with some canine flare.


Silly? Yes. But it helps to make the experience less medical. So far it's been 4 weeks and we've seen progress. Can't wait to see his head at the end!
