The curtains were pulled back slowly, an excited squeal followed at the sight before his eyes. What had once been a dull and busy grey street below was now void of people and covered with thick white snow.

His parents had assured him the night before, that if the snow settled and it was deep enough to play in, then they'd take him to the park and they'd build snowmen. His head turned slowly at the sound of his bedroom door opening, at the sight of his father's face, Caleb smiled.

'Park?' he asked, one word was all he needed to say, and he hoped for the right answer.

At the nod from his father, he cried out excitedly and jumped up and down on his bed, his teddy bear bouncing up, every time his feet made contact with the mattress. He stopped suddenly, as if just remembering something. 'Mommy too?' he questioned, his little face set in a serious expression.

He began bouncing once his mother appeared with his wellies, hat, scarf and gloves. As she fished around in his drawers to find something warm for their lively toddler to wear, Danny announced that Caleb's breakfast was ready, and they wouldn't be going anywhere until the Readybrek was fully consumed.

Without the usual grumbling, Caleb climbed up into his booster seat at the table and happily began eating his breakfast, stopping occasionally to blow onto his spoon. As he ate, Danny stood leaning against the worktop slowly drinking his cup of coffee, hardly believing how quickly there little boy was growing. Sure there baby daughter would be arriving in around three months, but for now, Caleb was still there baby boy.

With breakfast done and out of the way, and Caleb dressed in full winter gear, the trio headed across to the park, walking slowly to avoid slipping, the blonde haired infant took pleasure out of being pulled through the snow by his father in his shiny blue sled.

Glancing back regularly they ensured that the boisterous boy remained seated until they were safely in the park. The minute they were alongside the bench he was up, out and running around. Lindsay sighed as she sat down on the bench, luckily someone had been there previous and the snow had been cleared from the seat.

They'd only been in the park for ten minutes and the men in her life had rolled a substantial sized snow ball, a few more turns and they'd have the body for the snow man they were building, she was grateful for the hot chocolate Danny had bought her from the local vendor, without it, no doubt she would have been cold.

Once the slightly smaller ball had been placed precariously on top of the body, she watched as Danny glanced around no doubt looking for something to use as facial features, with a smile she called Caleb over to where she was seated. Automatically going into 'Mom' mode, she gently brushed the clinging snow from his trousers and coat before digging into her purse and pulling out a carrot to use for the nose and two large dress buttons to use for the eyes, she smiled at the grin on Caleb's face before she fished deep into her pocket and pulled out several stone's she'd managed to pick up from the ground surrounding the bench.

'For the mouth' she smiled.

As Caleb gently placed the items he'd been given onto the snowman, Danny had yet to realise and was still searching for items to use.

'All done Daddy' Caleb grinned as he wrapped an arm around the neck of the snowman proudly. His mother was quick and managed to snap a photo using her cell phone.

With the hot chocolate gone, and the cold settling in, they made the decision to head home, a promise to let Caleb watch his favourite DVD once they got home, had him jumping into his sled, ready for the ride home.

'You'll be able to see your snowman from your window when we get home' Danny smiled, as they realised they had inadvertently built there frosted friend in line with their apartment.

A tired smile answered him.
