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.
