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...
