The grill-master

Dominic is fascinated with grills. Any time he sees one he is quick to tell us (in sign language) that it is "hot" ....so now he has his very own. He loves it so much that sometimes he has to hold it while he is in his car seat, because the grill had to go with us!! boys and fire....
