I love watching children explore and learn about the world. I found this little snail in the yard and brought it up on the walkway for Benji to have a better look at it. After a few minutes of studying how it moved, he asked me to make another one. =)

I told him I only brought it to him and that God made the snail. He thought for a second and said, “One more time, Mommy.” That’s how he asks for more. So sweet!
