As of about three weeks ago, Dominick is no longer taking naps. It's a great loss, especially since he doesn't seem to understand the concept of quiet time. That means no break for Mommy and, therefore, less time for blogging.

We had a lovely snow last weekend. It was pretty but didn't mess up the roads. More importantly, it was perfect for making snowmen. Here is the one Mike and Dominick made on Sunday:

Noel (for that is what Dominick named him) was a great snowman while he lasted. It was just too warm Sunday afternoon, and we noticed his head beginning to slide off. He collapsed later and remains a sad pile of snow and sticks with a carrot sticking out of it.

After coming inside, Dominick got his first taste of hot (well, warm) chocolate. I still had the camera handy, so I took a picture of him enjoying his treat. Note the W sitting. We can't get him to stop!

Dom did very well at PDO this week. Again it took him a few minutes to go in, but once he found something to place with, I was able to take my leave without him protesting. I heard later that he wasn't interested in the craft project but enjoyed playing musical chairs and sank all his shots playing basketball. The teacher was very impressed. I asked if he'd said "he shoots, he scores" like he does at home. She said no. Too bad. That would have been really funny!
