"Catty" The Catepillar

Matthew found his first catepillar the other day!!!, this was hugely exciting for him. We've been looking for one in our neighbourhood, and finally found not only one, but two! The first one spent 2 days at daycare (his name was Catty, and the second one was found when we came home from daycare after the first day, he was named "Ice Cream". Ice Cream was "shy" (as Matthew would say), so he was released that night with the understanding that Catty would have to be released the next evening before dinner. Matthew was very gentle with Catty and talked to him as if they had conversation together - it was very sweet. He had lots of fun playing with him and enjoyed freaking out Margeaux, our International Student. The last picture is of the release, Matthew was very sad about this but did well. Maybe we'll find another?
