On Head Protection

My daughter's been under the weather for a few days - slight fever, cough, wheezy. It is this time of year and earlier in the week her brother had been sick. My husband ran to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. Belle was playing with her brother's trains when she looked out of Alex's window and saw Daddy return home. So excited for Daddy to come home she ran down to greet him and took a tumble down the stairs right onto the tile floor.

Splat! Ouch! Many Many Many Tears....

Last year around this time, she fell and needed stitches just a few days before our Disney trip and last week she fell off of the new couch and got herself a black eye. Some days I think I should wrap her in bubble wrap. After all, with a pretty face like this... who wouldn't want to keep it perfect?


I thought I found the perfect solution.... put her brother's sparring helmet back into use. After all, he quit Karate about a year or so ago and hasn't expressed interest in going back. I suggested wearing it (half kidding, yeah.. only kinda) and she put it on but wasn't happy about it. She took it off and said she didn't like it because: " it wasn't her favorite color."














...Do they make pink sparring helmets?

Of course, the most important aspect of anything a little girl may have is the color. Would you believe that one of my daughters doesn't like pink? Oh no, it must be PURPLE. ;)

I love it! Reminds me so much of Sue and also of when Edward was younger and fell so much we made him wear his bicycle helmet whenever he was on pavement!

She is so cute. I hope she feels better. My daughter is the same way, if its not pink then it won't do. She got it from me.

You should check out the Forcefield Protective Headband. It looks like a regular sports headband but it has a protective padding inside.

AND IT COMES IN PINK!

Much lighter (and girlie) then a full helmet. ForcefieldHeadbands.com
