Caterpillaree

Abby has/had her first pet. She named him Caterpillaree. We found him eating the leaves on our trees out back, so Grandma fixed up a home for him. Abby was very excited to watch him turn into a butterfly. After about two weeks we figured out that wasn't going to happen. We tried to tell her, but still every day she talked about him turning into a butterfly. Unfortunately, Caterpillaree is no longer with us. He died a week or so ago without ever turning into a butterfly. I think next spring I'm going to order some caterpillars online so hopefully will be caterpillars, and not just worms.

Abby still doesn't quite get it yet, she think caterpillaree's just taking a nap and will wake up later. :( Here's some pictures of Abby's first pet:

Oh My Goodness! That is just so cute...and a little bit sad that her pet will not become a butterfly. :(

I loved the picture of her on the floor with the jar! So SO Cute!!
