Nervous Nelly Mommy that I am, I was watching my son attempting to play basketball in the driveway the other day, and my heart leapt into my throat every time he teetered this way, or tottered that way.  I wondered out loud to Zan, “Do you think they make helmets for babies as little as Mister Baby Boy?”  He gave me the look that lets me know that I’m about to cross the overprotective line into Crazy Land.  I stopped wondering….until I took him to the Dr. for a checkup yesterday, and lo and behold, what were they selling?!  Helmets for toddlers!!!!  Did I buy one?  HELL YES!!!!

*Ahem*  But of course I’ll only make him wear it when we go on bike rides.  *Ahem*  (Or if he’s climbing the slide…or running on the blacktop…or playing basketball…or sitting in the grass…or taking a bath…or reading a book…or sleeping.)

Okay…so I’m not really THAT crazy…honest. 

But I’m reminded of this Saturday Night Live skit.  So for your viewing pleasure, I present “Philip the Hyper Hypo!”
