Remember the caterpillars that Grandma and Grandpa Izatt sent Clyde for his birthday a while back?
Well, they turned into cocoons and hatched!
(About a month ago - like I said, sporadic blogging).
Here's Chuck helping Clyde sign 'butterfly' after the first one emerged
Clyde was very excited. Within a few days, all five of them had hatched and it was time to set them free:
Clyde was pretty tentative around them - very content to just watch as Daddy did the holding.
It was fun to watch each of them 'go' - a couple went straight up into the sky and over the roof, and a couple hung out around the flowers for a while.
I decided that this is the ideal pet experience: very low maintenance, pretty, and they only stick around for a few days!

I can now enjoy this post without vomiting. Thank you modern therapy.
p.s. did you get my apologetic and affirming email? you have to let me know what day!
What a fun experience!
Best present ever. Way to go Grandma and Grandpa Izatt.
I was hoping to see pictures of the butterflies...and I am glad they all hatched. I love Clyde's signing. I'll have to ask him to show me. Tell him I love him!
It's hard to break the science teacher in me...I just hope they weren't an invasive species. :) But what a cool opportunity!
