FAT CATERPILLAR

7.13.09

Mom found a caterpillar at Gramp Ervin's today - so she kept it in a coffee container for me to see. As soon as I saw him I started calling him "Fat Caterpillar." Many of you have probably read The Very Hungry Caterpillar - one of my favorite books!!

I took him everywhere - we went to the garden to get him some fresh leaves to eat.

I gave him some lettuce, bean & tomato leaves - & a stick!

There he is in his happy new home :)

(Fat Caterpillar slept on my dresser that night. In the morning I said "Wake up Fat Caterpillar!!" & I also read him Goodnight Moon - I showed him the pictures, that is the best part.)

I will keep you posted as to when he turns into a butterfly!!! Mom says he will probably be a hawk moth - that sounds cool too :)
