Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday Dear Butterfly!
Happy Birthday to YYYYOOOOOOUUUUU!
On Saturday, May 23, Gregory and I watched a "very hungry Caterpillar" that was hanging from the handle on his water table. It was green with little orange stripes running down its side and black prickly things sticking out from its skin. Mid morning the most amazing thing started to happen! It started to curl up so it looked like a C....then it formed an oval! 
We left for a couple of hours, came home and there was a cocoon (as G pronounces it...Ca Coon!). The Ca Coon was light green with a little white dot at the tip where it was fastened to the handle. We showed everybody who came to visit and would check on our little visitor daily!
Today a beautiful orange and black butterfly appeared and Gregory got to see it with his sweet nanny, Ania! She said it sat on the cocoon for about ten minutes before flying away. Gregory was quite excited and sang Happy Birthday while looking at the cocoon tonight. This was such a perfect gift from God to a little boy whose very favorite story is The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
I must mention that Gregory not only loves the hungry caterpillar, but he also loves food. When asked what he wants to eat he will reply, "Um...chocolate cake...um, watermelon, um....Swiss cheese.....um, a slice of salami, um cupcake, um pickle, um sausage"....and then he will add his other favorite such as cantaloupe, apple, etc.!
