The Super Bowl is on, so what better time to update the site? I mentioned to Mike that TLC is having a "What Not to Wear" marathon, but he didn't seem terribly excited about it. Too bad.
Dom's been to PDO three times now and is enjoying it. Last Wednesday, he helped the teacher set up chairs around the table without prompting. I was so proud. When I came to pick him up, he and another boy were playing with hula hoops, and he insisted on putting those away before we could get his things.
Dominick has officially finished First Steps, as of Friday. He would have stopped on his third birthday anyway, but we really didn't have anything to work on, and with his new activity, it seemed like a natural time to stop OT. He has come so far since a year ago, when he was barely even saying "uh oh." Now Dominick is using full sentences almost all the time. One of the longest we've heard is "I'm going to pick him (Noel) up and carry him around." Uh, no you're not! It's sweet, though.
Noel is much like Dominick was at this age. We've spent a few meals lately with the hairdryer running in an effort to calm him down long enough for us to eat. He's not sleeping much during the day, unless I make a real effort to get him to nap. And, sad as it is to say, it appears that Noel's hair is starting to fall out. I noticed a little bare patch at his right temple today. Pretty soon he'll have a line of baldness around the middle of his head with really long hair above and below. The question is what color it will be when it grows back in a few months.

Kelly, in case no one has thanked you for maintaining this blog, I want you to know how much I appreciate your taking the time and effort to provide updates to us out here in cyberspace. We look forward to your next publications, and they never come soon enough! I understand that with two young boys to raise, you don't have a whole lot of time, and when you do you must be tired. Just the other day I was showing your blog to Ann Nicolaus, your babysitter so many years ago in the early 80's, who marvelled at your site and your achievements, as well as Hannah's. This blog is a historical document that I hope you will maintain all the way up to both boys' graduations from high school, if not beyond.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. The text and the pictures keep us in touch from so far away.
