We have Butterflys!

We had been watching.....waiting and finally this morning Emily came and woke me up she was soooo excited "Mommy the butterfly's hatched" So we came upstairs to check it out. Sure enough we had one butterfly and a second that had JUST come out :) So we went and got them some fresh orange slices to drink on when they are ready. Sure enough while Emily was sitting watching her butterfly learn to use its wings, another one came out! She was sooooo excited to SEE it "hatch"! Then we watched as it opened its wings of the first time, and we watched as it learned to use its legs and tongue (aka Proboscis, which DID you know that an elephants trunk can also be called a Proboscis!)

So amazing and wonderful to be able to watch it all and too see the excitement on her face as SHE watched it!

3 more to "hatch"!
