Butterflies

Before Buster was born, we decided to buy Olive a bunch of gifts and tell her they were from him when we brought him home from the hospital. Considering she kept talking about "hitting Buster" - we figured it was the best way to get her to LOVE her new baby brother. One of those gifts was a butterfly hatching kit. She was so excited when we sent away for the caterpillars that she asked the mailman every day if they were here yet!

After about 10 days - the caterpillars formed cocoons and we had to transfer them into their new home.

After a week the butterflies emerged and Olive couldn't wait to watch them fly away. Her new bff, Harper, happened to be walking by when we were letting them go. The girls absolutely LOVED it.

I can honestly say it was one of the best gifts that Buster got his big sister. I'm not sure Olive would agree though. I think her favorite were the fish.
