It depends on who you ask...

#5 is the "baby" in our family. He is almost four years old, but he insists most of the time that he is still a baby, because he seems to think that if he gets to be a big boy, he will have to give up some of his favorite things, like trains, Blues Clues, and cute little baby animals.
Tonight at dinner we somehow got on the topic of Blues Clues, and #1 who is 10 was mocking Blues Clues. #5 said Blues Clues was for babies...and I took that moment to point out to #10 that he still enjoyed Blues Clues when he was in first grade. I also tried to point out that #5 is not a baby anymore, but that he isn't quite a big kid either.
#3 piped up with, "He is half a kid!"

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
