The only helmet we have is the bike helmet. It goes on pretty easily. It offers enough protection but Oli is so agressive he will pull it off. The best thing I can do is just put my hand in the way if I can get there in time. When he was 2 and at the mothers day out that had a music player that he hated, they made me bring his helmet everyday so they would be prepared.
I see the kids at the school across the street that in the self contained 3-5 grade. The one boy who is really improving, but is still unstable has a helmet on all the time. It looks like the martial arts kind.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
