Day 1, Helmet Therapy

As I suspected he's still adorable.
We picked the helmet up yesterday. They ordered the wrong color, we requested blue. I considered having them remake it but really it's fine. Todd wants to add some U of L stickers to it anyway and blue wouldn't really do for his color scheme. Plus I wanted to get started and hopefully the sooner we start the sooner we finish. 
So today is day 1 and he's wearing it one hour then off for one hour repeat until bedtime. He won't sleep with it on until a week. We gradually have him wear it more and more each day until next Friday he'll be wearing it 23/7. He'll get a break for 45 minutes at night for us to bathe him and clean the helmet and 30 minutes in the morning for him to air out and let his little head breathe. 
So far today he doesn't seem to notice or mind thank goodness. I'll keep you posted on his progress, here's hoping it's a quick 2-3 months (and not more!).
