Oct. 9, 2006 - Slippers

Yesterday I found a caterpillar! Its feet looked like slippers so I named it Slippers. It has ravishing rainbow colors all over it. Daddy says that it is definitly a caterpillar, it is very big so I think that it is soon going to make its cucoon and turn into a butterfly! I can't wait till that happens. Dad and Mom said that I can keep it! I love it so much! Today we caught a butterfly with my little sister's butterfly net! We named it Buttercup. And I think it's a monarch butterfly. Though, we let it go because it was lonely.
