In the backyard we can build a snowman
Well, there have been two accomplishments since arriving in America that have brought the chin down, eyes up, big smile look of pride. One is riding a two-wheeler. The other is, without any help from the grown-ups, is making a snowman.
There was a request for buttons. The hat appeared on its own, as did the arms. I helped with the mouth.It was a big occasion.
Later, the snowman acquired a twin!
It seems a little more melancholy, though. It could be the teeth.
Note that the original snowman has an upgrade with the same teeth, and a scarf. It is also wearing a double-breasted jacket of some sort.
And how did the snowman-makers learn? “The paper, at school. And TV.”
