First off, I just want to apologize for slacking off lately. Life has been quite busy, which has left me little time to write, ironic since I have a lot to tell you.
Today, Joe, Lorre, and I took Ben to London. Unfortunately, we were not there to sightsee. Ben's head is quite flat on one side. After months of "repositioning" (keeping him off his head), the time has come to get him a helmet. The first time I ever heard of babies wearing helmets, I nearly laughed my butt off. I'm pretty sure it would have fallen off when I saw the pictures, but it suddenly gets a lot less funny when it is your kid.
Anyway, so we took him to the clinic to have him assessed and fitted for a helmet. As a side note, our insurance does not cover any cost related to the helmet since they think it is cosmetic. That whole issue is such garbage. If one side of his head is pushed in, then one side of his face gets pushed out. Eventually, the face is disfigured. (Think Sloth from the Goonies.) That is not cosmetic! We are fortunate that our savings can cover it, but what about the other families? Their children don't deserve to be odd looking because their parents don't have enough money.
After the appointment, Ben had his first Happy Meal from McDonald's. Big day for a wee Boy!
