James is wearing a medical helmet to help "round" a flat area in the back of his head. He was born with a condition called, torticollis. Torticollis gave him limited range of motion in his neck, which resulted in a flat scull in a spot or two. Anyway, the helmet is just awful and it's ugly as can be.
When I take him to the playground in the mall, the kids stare and some are even frightened. I'm having it painted soon to look more approachable and kid-friendly. Anyway, last time we went to the mall, as little girl walked up to me and asked why he was wearing that helmet. I said, "Because he's a football player." The girl looked at James, then looked back at me and said, "Oh ok!" Then she went about her business.
awwhh i think james is adorable and he looks totally approachable, we as parents need to just teach our children , Im glad she bought the football player , and im sorry you have to answer questions about it
