Alexa asked to grow butterflies again, something we had done 2 years ago. So, for her birthday, she received a new butterfly kit and we watched as each caterpillar turned into a chrysalis. And then, one after another the butterflies emerged and we fed them oranges and enjoyed them for several days. It was then time to set them free.
Maybe not the best photo, but this captures Alexa's look as she watched each butterfly take off toward freedom! She expressed a bit of sadness once they had all gone but I explained how important it was for each of the butterflies to spread their wings and find their new homes. She seemed okay with that and we carried on with our day!
