Have you all been waiting to hear about the not-so-rosy parts of our road trip?

I'm not sure if you all know that Wyatt is a head banger. He lightly bangs his head on the carpet when he is happy, he bangs his head against the wall, floor, cement, whatever if he is unhappy. The latest in innovative head-banging happened on our trip when Wyatt wanted to reboard a train we had taken. Marc put Wyatt up on his shoulders. Even though Wyatt weights close to 70 pounds, this is a way we have been using to quickly remove Wyatt from situations.

However, Wyatt decided to slam his head into the back of my husband's skull--repeatedly. Oh my God, my husband saw stars, yelled, nearly passed out. And now since Wyatt knows that he has gotten some sort of reaction from Marc because of this head slamming behavior, we can no longer use the shoulder hoist method of getting Wyatt away from places. We thought about getting special football-player helmet padding and putting it inside a baseball cap that Marc could wear, but I think it would be too easy for Wyatt to grab and throw off.
