Frosty Fascination

Sydney is fascinated with snowmen. She talks about it all day, spends a lot of time at her bedroom window looking at the melting snowmen outside and frequently asks me to tell her stories about snowmen. She LOVES them. However, she's too afraid to touch them. She will touch snow on the ground but not when they resemble people.

The snowman above sits in the courtyard at Sydney's school. All of the kids got such a kick out of it but it was too cold to be outside. So the teachers brought indoors buckets of ice for them to build a snowman on one of the activies table. When I arrived to pick Sydney up from school, she was busy sticking pipe cleaners in the snowman for arms. She had declined requests to put in any other body parts because it would require her touch the snowman. I was kicking myself for leaving my camera at home because I would have loved to have a picture of the final product. If you can, picture a snowman about 3 inches taller than Sydney with 9 arms, 5 eyes and a carrot for a nose.
