After one year, we are finally a helmetless family! When they first told us Audrey would have to wear a helmet for a year, it seemed like an extremely long time. But looking back on it, it actually went really fast. At 60 days to go, I made a countdown (more for me than Audrey). I also made one for her daycare so they could have fun with it as well. Every morning as we were getting ready for the day, we would pull one day down and Audrey would take the number and throw it in the garbage. Before we knew it, there was only 7 days left...one week! It was almost hard to believe that it was finally coming to an end.
So what do you do to celebrate getting rid of a helmet? Throw a Hair Accessory Party of course!! Many friends came over to celebrate with us and brought plenty of cute bows and ponies for Audrey to wear. She even got a case to put them all in!
So I'm sure you're wondering what we got Audrey for all her troubles this past year. Since we figured she'd get plenty of hair things from our friends, we decided to get her what every 17 month old needs...a new car!!! She loves to sit in it with all her stuffed animals and "drive" around.
