Ice Ice Baby

A word (or two) about the ice. We use ice as a form of oral motor therapy. It helps to contract the muscles and strengthen them. This helps with talking, drooling, and eating. By tapping and rubbing the ice on the cheeks, lips and tongue the muscles start to become stronger. Instead of wincing at the ice cold temperature, Nicolas does the opposite...

Summer 2008 (so far!)

We made it! And Nicolas was a champion!

He got his own first-class seat, thanks to his amazing grandparents!
Nicolas had a great time playing with the entire family.




And Nicolas made a new friend!



Doesn't Pepper look interested?
