Day 5

More of the same today.

Today's schedule was 6-8 hours on 1 hour off, twice.

Well...we kinda make our own schedule today

He wore from 8am-4:15pm

and

5:15pm-7:30pm

Today was our first 'outing'

He's worn it to school all week but today was the first day in stores.

We went to Hobby Lobby, Target and Joann's.

I didn't have any strange comments.

But...I have discovered there are 3 different kinds of people

The NO LOOKERS- you KNOW they see you, but they look beyond you at all cost, not knowing

whether to smile or cry...so they just don't look

Then you've got the LOOKERS- these people look...but they look at you pitiful like they feel really sorry for you/and baby

Then you have the ACTIVE LOOKERS- these people WANT so bad to look that they strike up a converstaion with you about how cute your baby is and what a pretty smile he has or how sweet his eyes are...all the while really wanting to say 'why does he have that helmet on?'

It's funny, everyone I made eye contact with I wanted so badly to say, 'there's nothing mentally wrong with my child, he's perfectly fine- see he can wave, clap, smile on command, he's just got a flat spot on his head and we're fixing it'.

But, I can't. 

I just smile and hope they see that we are happy!

And don't need any pity.

Happy Saturday!
