a safety thing?

JD had a bike helmet that he loves! We haven't gone bike riding for a while coz he was getting too heavy to sit at the back and pedaling uphill with a 15kg toddler behind takes more than strength and energy! So, the helmet has been left sitting in his room. Lately he has rediscovered it and had been insisting on wearing his helmet everywhere he goes...

- when he plays in the backyard just in case the sky falls on his head (words according to his daddy)
- when he sits in the car seat
- when he eats
- when he roams around in the house
- when he watches the Wiggles

and I have had to bargain with him every morning before going to daycare that he is not allowed to bring his helmet there for a zillion times. Ah.....kids.....you love them but they can drive you crazy!
