What is it about little boys and snails and dirt and sticks, sources of endless fascination. Buddy boy has recently taken to "racing" snails. The picks them off the flowers then examines the slime and the single foot. He will tell you all about snails now, how they make slime to walk on, and that they only have one foot, and carry their houses on their backs, and that the move "like this" (lots of head and shoulder movement up and down). It is pretty cute. He will pick up a couple and watch as they slowly slime their way back to the flower bed. It's the world's slowest race.
