For Bella's birthday this year, Nico and Marlee gave her a butterfly kit. I mailed away for the butterflies and when they got to our house I thought- Oh no, they died in the transportation. They were tiny ant sized black things that didn't appear to be moving. I put them on a window seal, and in a few days we were pleasantly surprised to see them eating these orange pellets at the bottom of the container. In a few days they were amazingly one inch long and getting some serious weight on them. After a couple of days, they had spun themselves into 6 chrysalis. In a week butterflies emerged. It was truly awesome to watch! We released the butterflies in a park with our friends. You can see that in the beginning Bella wanted them to swarm her, but then timidly gets a little fearful of them.
Bella took off running.
She finally was okay if someone else held one and she tries to feed the butterfly popcorn.
Victoria was a little apprehensive too, but was glad she held one.
Bella's getting braver.
Beautiful!
