Three year old vocabulary

#5 likes chocolate covered raisins. I am personally not a big fan of them. But when his Grandpa M left some at our house (because he is apparently not a big fan of them either) #5 tried them and liked them. We never told him what they were, so when he wants some he comes up to us with the jar and says.
"Can I have some raisin beans?" And he came up with that all on his own. I guess they do look a little bit like beans when they are covered in chocolate.

Yes, he wanted some of the rocks of dried out brown sugar. Of course! Sugar Beans.

Two of them! A while back I wrote about our snail Claireford going the way of all the earth (i.e. he/she croaked). I also mentioned that after Claireford's untimely demise there was a mysterious tiny little slug-like creature in the tank. Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu
