About 2 weeks ago, Dylan brought home a caterpillar from Kidspace Museum.
For the last 2 weeks, our family has been watching this little guy grow and change. First, it ate all the food in the little container, and got super fat. Then it went to the top of the container and hung upside down, then it turned into a chrysalis.
I was expecting it to take longer, but I noticed when we came home from Disneyland, it had turned into a butterfly!! I was excited, but I already knew the hard part was coming up. Dylan had looked in on butterfly every day, and now we have to let him go.
Today after school, we took the container outside, opened it up, and let the butterfly out. At first he didn't go, but when he did, it was !! He flew around us for a few seconds, and then up into the trees, and he was gone. Then Dylan started to cry. He thought he wanted to keep him as a pet. I had to explain that we did the best thing for the butterfly by letting him go. After our talk, some tears, and a grilled cheese sandwich, I think he felt a little better.
All in all, we learned from this experience and we all thought it was awesome!!
