Creating the Mold for the Helmet

Taelor had to have a plaster mold made of her head so they could make her helmet. They put a thick nylon on her head to help keep the plaster out of her hair. Overall the guy said she did really well. She didn't get upset until the end. This was done the end of January.

The lines show the center of her head. They put them on so it made it easier to see the difference in the two sides.

The ridge on the front made it so he would be able to pull the front off after it had dried just a few minutes so they could get the rest off.

She is still doing good here. Only one piece left to be put on.
She starts to get upset so we tried the pacifier.
I am not happy.
She finally started to cry. I had Brandon hold her so I could comfort her when she was done.
Can you please take it off?
My crazy hair!!!
We are glad that we only had to do it once. I am sure she is also. It takes 2 weeks to make the helmet. I am glad that Brandon was able to be with me during this step of the process. He supports me so well. I was so nervous, but in the end Taelor did really well.
