Yesterday was so gorgeous that we spent most of it outside. Boogaloo is fascinated by all kinds of creeping things. She loves snails especially. Our storage unit is full of them, and she likes to prop open the lid and count them.
All in all, I wasn't entirely surprised to look out the door and see her holding a snail, talking to it, even stroking its foot (no squeamish people here, right?). I was surprised that the snail wasn't scared of her. It just bided its time until she put it down, and then it tried to run away. Poor snail. It didn't realize that snails aren't built for hasty retreats, or maybe it hadn't realized the size of the creature carrying it.
Anyway, I ran back and got the camera in time to see Boogaloo trying to make the snail "comfortable" on a leaf. Here are the results.
