In the Sun He Melted

Once there was a snowman, tall, tall, tall!

Then the sun came out and he was the only snow left in the entire neighborhood. The only reason he was still standing is because he froze ice-hard after the day that we built him. Jacob faithfully watched his snowman friend each day and had me put the eyes and nose back on.

He still seemed to be a happy-looking snowman, even though he was slowly getting smaller.

Our crocuses even came out to see what was going on with the snowman.

Then on Thursday (March 8) the snowman was leaning precariously forward. Once again Jacob had me go out with him to put the eyes and nose back on. Unfortunately when he touched the snowman the head fell right off!

At first Jacob was upset about the head falling off. But then he decided to make the best of it. He looked at me and said, "Mommy, we'll just make this snowball the head!".

So we did.
