Saturday a brand new butterfly, Rainbow Princess Beauty Mermaid Fairy Unicorn (guess who named her) came to be and is now (hopefully still) flying around making someone smile.
I was checking out the little chrysalis Friday night and noticed how clear it was becoming and the wings were very visible.
So we took the jar upstairs with us that night, since I am up several times during the night I could check its progress. Then saturday morning it was very black but still no butterfly. Then finally around noon Jeff saw it starting to come out.
It was pretty amazing to watch it emerge, its wings all small and wrinkled. then they slowly start to get bigger. It was a very long process, longer than I thought it would be. Eventually we moved her outside. Peyton was able to hold her and as she started to try flying around we took her over to the butterfly bush. She flew away just before we got to it and landed up on top, was exactly where she wanted to be. That was a very fun thing to experience, hopefully we will be able to do it again. Big thanks to Gram for thinking of it and helping Peyton find the little guy…I mean girl.
