Isaiah's head gear

 Isaiah was born with special radar that detects when I am trying to eat and makes him start crying. Usually I end up holding him while we eat, but this time it was Jerel's turn. He wanted to make sure Isaiah was protected from anything landing on his head so he put a burp cloth on his head. He looked like a little Arab boy wearing a keffiyeh. Except that he's white and most keffiyehs don't have nursery prints on them. Other than that though you would totally have thought he was middle eastern.

Along those same lines I was looking through a baby magazine the other day and saw that they sell helmets for babies. I can see two cases where it would be legitimate to put a helmet on a baby: 1--if you are riding a bicycle or something and have the baby in a carrier. 2--if you baby has some sort of seizures or other medical condition where they are likely to sustain a head injury. That's it. There are really no other reasons. And yet you can buy ThudGuard to protect a perfectly healthy kid who happens to be learning to walk. As the ad explains, "the head is an important part of the human anatomy..." True, but since there are many other important parts of the human anatomy I am going to hold off on purchasing one until they come out with the full-body version.
