Pretty in Pink

We left bright and early yesterday morning. We arrived about an hour before our scheduled appointment so Will decided to call and see if they could get us in early. Praise God because we got in at 12:30pm. and that means we were able to head home early! The appointment went basically like this. First they properly fit the foam lining of her helmet to her head. They had to make several adjustments as well as cut out the holes for her ears and face. She did well during that part. We then left for about 2 hours while they fit the lining to the outer shell. When we arrived back it was time to practice putting the helmet on and off. This was not Morgan's favorite activity! She cried a lot as we were learning to correctly put it on and take it off, over and over again. It is much harder to put on than I had thought it would be. I am sure it will get easier with practice. We left the appointment with Morgan in her pink helmet. She looks like a little football player.... a cute football player! She wore the helmet for an hour on and an hour off for the remainder of the evening. Overall, she did really well on the ride home. Last night she was able to sleep with out it and first thing this morning it went back on. She had a hard time taking a nap this morning but for the most part she is adjusting well. She will wear it through out today with 30 minute breaks every hour or two. Tonight she will sleep wearing it and then from that point on she will be dressed in pink 23 hours a day. We pray that she will sleep well! I am sure it will take some time for all of us to adjust.



This is Morgan "getting to know her helmet". She really loved it and didn't like it when her Daddy took it from her. She started to cry. It was pretty cute. She loved it until we actually had to put it on her.


This was Morgan on the ride home wearing her helmet for the first time.



Avery wanted to wear her helmet this morning as soon as she woke up. This is the bike helmet she got for Christmas last year from Uncle Paul and Aunt Candice! Avery is enjoying having a helmet like her little sisters!



And here she is, pretty in pink!
