Alexander's First Snowman
Today Alexander and Muma got to build their first snowman together. The snow was sticky and heavy and perfect for rolling with the help of Alexander's strong muscles. Lifting was not so easy though- we had to call in Papa for that part! We piled him high, brushed off some of the grass and leaves and tried to give him some semblance of shape. Then we had a 'snowman kit' from Nana, and Alex was very excited to stick in the nose, buttons and help with the eyes (Muma did the mouth). We staked in his hat with tent stakes (we just happened to have our little tent up in the front room today for some pretend camping), and used a broken dowel for his arms, and voila! Alex thought he was just pretty neat and hopes that "he will not melt too soon," he says.
This is like way soooo cool. . .hope Mr Snowman last long long time too. . .love gma, gpapa
WoW, Alex! You and Muma sure made an awesome snowman! That's the nicest one I've seen. I like his red scarf and mittens and his big hat. I'm glad you had strong muscles to help roll those big balls. I'm going to copy this picture and put it up on your winter/snowman bulletin board in your room here so you can remember him even after he melts. Congratulations on building your first snowman. Love, Nana
Wow, I've never seen a better looking snowman! Especially with that bright red scarf and black hat and eyes. You really did a great job, Alex. And you were so strong to pick up those big balls of snow for his head - have you been using your dad's workout equipment? Looks like you had a really fun time!
