I grew butterflies.

For Christmas, Grandpa Jerry and Nini got me a butterfly habitat, and mommy sent away for the caterpillars.  When they came in the mail, there were five of them in a plastic jar.  They just crawled around all day, and ate and went potty.  The potty actually made their jar very icky looking.

Finally, they turned into cocoon, and hung from the top of the jar.  Daddy took the cocoons and put them in the butterfly habitat.  Everything morning, we would look inside to see if they were changing.  And one morning, they turned into butterflies!!

Daddy picked flowers from the garden and put sugar water on them for food.  We watched them for a couple of days and then released them in the backyard.

I really liked holding them, and letting them walk up my arm, it really tickled.
