Yesterday, Carmi found a little white caterpillar - about 3/4" long - that had taken up residence in Eliana's backpack and was in the process of spinning a cocoon.
Don't even ask how THAT happened because we're clueless.
She took the squatter and placed it in a jar so Eliana could take it to preschool this morning for show-and-tell. Our plan was for the caterpillar to stay at her preschool so the children could enjoy watching the eventual transformation.
When I picked Eliana up this afternoon, her childcare provider - who is also a teacher at the preschool - said that the little critter was indeed a huge hit. So huge, in fact, that the kids didn't want to do anything today BUT stare at the jar.
Evidently teachers aren't happy when they don't have their student's full attention.
So I brought the caterpillar back home...which suited a Little Empress just fine.
