Bu-Fly

Brendon came inside one day with "something interesting." Normally when he says that he has some sort of deadly insect in his hands. With that said, I was bracing myself to be completely and utterly grossed out, but luckily it was just a harmless little chrysalis. We decided to put it in a bottle and see if it would eventually emerge as a butterfly. I wasn't expecting it to live since as a kid I never had success with the caterpillars or cocoons I would get in those little boxes from school on Earth Day. I especially didn't have high hopes since the bottle it was in got knocked over several times, but to my surprise there was a little butterfly in it this morning. Kent really like the "bu-fly," but I think that he found the stick that the chrysalis was on a whole lot more interesting. That might have partly been because I wouldn't let him pull the wings off of it, which made the "bu-fly" slightly less fun.
