Becca is in a very prolific writing phase - she's starting to write stories. Here's a book she is putting together. It's so good, after she colors the pictures, I might hard bind it. She'll want it later in life.
BUTTERFLIES
Butterflies start as an egg. They hatch in an hour. Then a fuzzy little caterpillar comes out of the egg and starts munching on leaves.
It eats and eats and eats until it is fat! When he has filled his tummy, he starts to make a chrysalis and shuts his eyes and goes to sleep for days and nights.
At day, it hatches from its chrysalis. It's now a butterfly. It has to dry its wings.
It flies around the flowers.
Soon this butterfly will lay eggs.
The eggs will hatch and start all over again.

So sweet!
BTW, how come when we were growing up they were called cocoons and now they are chrysalises? But moths still have cocoons. Hmmm...
