Walter is ten,
Meticulous
A perfectionist like me.
So,
I decided to start training him on setting up my Snow Village scenes.
The process began yesterday morning.
We had to create a mess to get started.
There is a menagerie of houses, trees, people, animals, and fake snow.
This little boy was ecstatic.
It was like the ideas exploded in his mind, and there was no stopping him.
His first project was the Dairy Farm.
I gave him complete freedom to create what was in his head.
His placement of each animal made perfect sense.
He had a bit of a snafu with the fence,
But I found some extra and he made it happen...
just like it was in his mind.
We weren't able to finish before the pizza and the family arrived,
But he made a considerable dent in the endeavor.
He did all of these by himself, and nothing was broken.
It took most of the day, and I was exhausted when I finally went to bed,
Thank You, Lord, for Walter, who absolutely loves my lighted houses
And is a willing and talented constructor.
I have hope for when I age out and can't do this anymore.
💗
I think I'll go in there now to work on it some more.
Monday
I finished it, except for the outside choir singers.
Of course, one important thing is always missing.
Something that you search for for hours and never find.😞
Decorating for Christmas early this year!
