Snails

I'm going to be perfectly honest here, I don't like playing Barbies. Every day Aaliyah wants to play Barbies and I just can't do it anymore.

This morning when we were eating breakfast Aaliyah leans over and to tell me a secret. (I honestly thought she was going to burp in my ear.) She whispers in my ear, "Barbies" and then gets a big grin on her face.

I somehow managed to divert her attention though and instead we spent the day collecting snails from the yard. We got her wagon and put at least 20 snails into it and she pulled them around the yard taking them on rides and then watched them try to climb out of the wagon.

After about an hour Aaliyah came in for some juice and as she was walking through the door I heard her telling the snails to be good and that she needed to go inside for a minute but that she would be right back to take them on some more rides. She was about halfway done with her juice when she yelled, "OH NO" and ran for the door. All of her snails were climbing out of the wagon and she started picking them back up and telling them they couldn't do that because they would get hurt. She especially scolded the ones that got around the tires of the wagon because they "would get run over."
