Johnny's First Snowman

With our balmy weather and rain this weekend, you would hardly guess that we had a pretty significant snow last weekend. Here are pictures of John teaching Johnny to make his first snowman.

Hey, why is that guy wearing my hat??

Then, they moved on to snowball throwing.

Johnny was more of a participant in this activity than building a snowman. Do you see the snowball he threw on the right side of the photo? Pretty good, huh!

Whenever he is in a new or stressful situation (not that building a snowman is that stressful, but he wasn't used to being out in an actual snow storm and he had fallen down a couple of times trying to navigate the snow in boots), Johnny likes to ground himself by going back to the familiar.

He starts with "Eyes..."

Then, "Nose..."

And finally, "Mouf (aka mouth)."

It cracks me up and is one of the cutest things he does.

Last week, he was in the middle of a meltdown so John put him in his crib and he heard this wobbly, tearful little voice reciting, "Eyes, nose, mouth."
