Hi Carol -
Thanks for your post. I have to admit everytime one of my girls (I have three daughters - 4 1/2, 2, and 10 months) bumps their heads I worry about what that is going ot mean in the future. I know the head is strong - but wow sometimes it can be pretty cary to think what is happeing on the brain side of the "bop" on the head.

All the best, sue
