our little friend, Snail.

My 4 year old has a new little friend, Snail Friend. Snail Friend lives in the ivy that grows next to the walkway by our house. 4 loves to stop and "chat" with Snail Friend. The conversation usually goes something like this:

4: Snail Friend...where are you?
(spots a little snail squishing accross the sidewalk)

4: Oh, dere you are! How are you today my widdle Snail Friend?
(stoops down as if to listen to the snail)

4: I'm fine, thank you bery musch. But I'm on my way to ___(pick up brother and sister at school, buy groceries, play at the park etct)___. I'll see you later Snail Friend!


4 is such a magical age. I wish he could stay this cute forever!
