Re-shaping

My niece is about 1/2 way through a skeletal reconstructive program (hence the helmet). Because she was born a little early, her head was a bit softer than normal. Sleeping on her back led to the back of her head being flattened. The helmet is meant to reshape her head while her bones are still malleable. It hasn't changed her happy-go-lucky attitude or made her any less cute. If all goes well, the helmet will be gone by the end of August. Hooray!
