The Helmet

For the past month or so my toddler has been obsessed with hats and helmets. From construction hard hats to mixing bowls; he has worn them all.

Reluctantly, my husband and I purchased a new edition to his head ware collection during our most recent shopping excursion.

Not being able to contain himself until it was paid for, he had to wear it immediately. So we finished our shopping trip with gawks and stares from most of the passers by.

It wasn't until we hit the parking lot that we realized the reactions were at us, not him.

It was evident that we appeared to be extremely overprotective parents that forced their unsuspecting child to wear safety gear while riding in a shopping cart.

Exhausted from embarrassing us, the ride home put him sound to sleep and with his bulky head piece (that could not be removed) he safely napped the evening away.
