When ever we have a Kindergartener, we order painted lady caterpillars (aka calapitters), and watch God's amazing process of metamorphosis!! This year was Hayley's turn! These are the caterpillars after they formed their chrysalis' and attached to the wall.
After the butterflies emerged, we kept them for a couple days, then released them.
They landed all over Hayley! One butterfly emerged with crooked wings and never could fly. Hayley placed it in our flowers and then pulled a chair over and sat down to watch over it. About 30 min. later I heard sobbing, and went to figure out what was going on. She was sad because she knew the butterfly would not survive and would probably be eaten by a bird. "What a bad way to die!," she sobbed. I couldn't argue with that, so we brought that one back to the butterfly house to live out it's days in peace!

Your girl is very cute. I love the picture of her foot. She has some seriously good looking feet and the shape and symmetry of her toes is absolutely gorgeous. I was absolutely thrilled to see a close up shot of that gorgeous good looking beautiful foot of hers!
