Fixing a loved Item

Once there was a Snowman

 

  

BEFORE

AFTER

The snowman that hangs on our boys’ bedroom door is well loved.  It gets played with during the day and hangs on their door knob at night. After months of time and attention from our youngest boy it was starting to come apart.  Our youngest was so attached to it that I could not convince him to let me fix it for him at first.  Finally after a month I convinced him to let me fix it.

When I sat down to fix it, I saw that it was hot glued together initially.  This put the whole things together for me; cause and effect of the snowman falling apart.

“No wonder, hot glue is not strong enough for him.”

So I set to picking the hot glue off.   Then I sewed it back together.  I didn’t even know my youngest was paying attention to me fixing it.  He was playing in the room.  However, he was not standing by me watching like he has at other times when I have fixed things for him.  I was so wrong.  As soon as I started to take a picture of it when it was finished he snatched it right off my desk and ran upstairs to put it back on his door. 

I had to laugh.
