With the kids’ interest in skiing unquestionably confirmed, and their skills quickly progressing, we knew it was time for to get them both helmets.  Rick brought some home today—Franny’s is a sleek silver, and Cole’s has fire down the sides.  Cole absolutely loves his!  Not only did he wear it around the house, he wore it out on an afternoon shopping trip and then, out to dinner.  I tried to nickname him ‘Blaze’, but he insists that he is ‘Fireman!’ (And yes, the exclamation point is part of the name—it is always shouted, never just spoken) Surprisingly, he didn’t decide to sleep in it, but I am quite certain it will be requested first thing in the morning!
