A special snowman
I know it's time to put away Christmas things, but there's one item I can't give up just yet. It's a little snowman made by my 6-year-old, Camille. He has a green bow around his neck, a black top hat and curly arms made of bronze wire. Though his buttons are distinctly off center and he has dried glue on his top hat, there's just something about him that makes me smile.
I liked him so much, I brought him to work and put him on top of my computer monitor. And there he sits, with his big smile and carrot nose, reminding me of my youngest daughter and her sunny personality every time I look at him. We have reams of drawings and boxes of crafts that the kids made at school and after-school, and eventually, we throw all but the best of them away -- otherwise, we'd have to buy a bigger house.
But I have a feeling this is one snowman who's going to last through the summer -- and beyond.
