Petey the Caterpillar
It's Carlee's first pet... well that's what Daddy says... lol. It's really Daddy's little experiment. After taking out the trash the other day, he came inside with a grin on his face. "Look at this," he told me. So, I looked. It was a stick. Wait, with something on it. I got closer. A caterpillar. I smiled."What are you going to do with that?" I asked him.
"Keep it," he answered, "It's Carlee's first pet." lol... So, he grabbed the small fish bowl that the mean orange guppy used to live in (he died about a week ago) (RIP Orange Guppy)... He put the caterpillar, leaves, and some shredded paper in the bowl. I just smiled and didn't say anything. I've tried the same thing before once when I found a caterpillar, but mine just died. So I didn't think this one was going to last either. But lo and behold, it's surviving! and it's started to build it's cocoon! I couldn't believe it! I don't know how many days it takes for it to change into a butterfly, but hopefully we'll get to see it happen. It's neat.

How cool is that!? I tried keeping a caterpillar only to have him die as well. You should take stage pictures...
Hope all is well and that you're getting some sanity-time.
