Caterpillar to Butterfly - Brady's Birthday present




Brady has been after butterflies for quite some time now. He LOVES them... i mean REALLY LOVES them. A while back, Brady even decided that he needed a butterfly bush in the backyard so it would attract more butterflies! We went to NorthHaven gardens as a family and Brady carefully chose the right bush. At home, he and his dad planted it in just the right spot. We chase butterflies in the backyard and when we go to parks, but he wanted his very own. So, for his birthday, his grandparents brought him the most wonderful gift... Caterpillars! Brady took care of them and watched them change from caterpillar to chrysalis to beautiful painted lady butterflies. After they had been flying around that little net cage for a few days, Brady decided it was time to let them fly free.
