Look, I'm a Snail!


Yesterday Monya and I watched Emma while Lief did some shopping. She was quite the handful since I was too lazy to clean up my mess before she arrived. I had to keep her attention away from some dangerous items I had left out, like wood carving knives. As usual, she found my conch shell and asked me what was inside. She didn't go for the ocean sound, so I told her a snail used to live in there.

Before I realized it, she was on her hands an knees asking me to help her put the "snail" shell on her back. Then she told me, "look, I'm a snail" and she began crawling very slowly across the floor.

Today I described all of this to Lief and told him how delightful she was. He agreed, but he said, "in small doses."

Yet I agree with you that she IS a pretty small dose already so, often things are just fine.

Thanks for the good picture.

I think "small doses" is the only size she comes in, isn't she? Great Grandma and I would take all of the "doses" of her as she would allow!!
