As a result of Lucas' head injury on his bike his face has been swelling up. This is Lucas yesterday after church. His forehead and bridge of his nose are swollen. This makes it hard for his eyes to open all this way. In person his profile looks much more flat than normal. Today he is developing two black eyes. Feel lucky he is doing so well though.
We used this snowman to get Ariel to take steps. She forgot her fear in her excitement to touch his nose. She seems to respond well to bribery. 
We are now testing our bribery techniques with sugar. Ice cream has proven very successful. What better time is there to introduce ice cream then when outside temperatures are in the negative degrees?
