The very hungry Caterpillar

We have read this book forever and now it all makes sense to J.  Grammy got him some caterpillars at Easter.  They arrived in a jar with their food.  In some time, they formed cocoons and we moved them to their net.  Once in their net, they sat there for a long time and finally -- day by day-- we got more butterflies.  This was such an awesome gift for J- he woke up every morning looking to see if the butterflies had formed or how many more came to.  So finally we let them "go" out of their net.  J didn't want to do it, but once we explained how would he feel if we told him he had to stay inside forever and never go outside-- he got it and we immediately went outside to set them free!  Thanks Grammy for a great gift!
