Baby Animals

We were riding home from trash 'n' treasure on Sunday with the girls in the trailer when (after passing the spot where the little shetland pony is normally tied up - and wasn't there) Ella asked 'Did you know a baby horse is called a foal?' So over the next few minutes we played "guess the baby animal". We would give Ella a common animal - dog, cat, cow .... Then Ella decided to turn the tables: "what's a baby swan called?" (she pronounced cygnet as insect) and "Do you know what a baby ladybird is called?" Here, we were stumped, so Andy improvised, and a baby ladybird is now called a babybug...
