Addy has lost 3 teeth in the past 2 weeks. Two on top and one on bottom. I'm glad her first permanent tooth on top came in, she is having a tough time eating a few things. It is quite humorous to watch her try to eat apples and meat.
And our little Clo bo has two little pearly whites on the bottom. No one ever sees them except me when she is getting ready to eat! She doesn't smile wide enough for other people to see. She did smile long enough for me to get a picture of her though!
We caught some caterpillars the other day. The kids are looking at them closely so they can draw them. We are hoping to keep them alive long enough to watch them turn into a butterfly. We put some lettuce in the cage and they devoured it!
*Caterpillar Update: We added another cool looking caterpillar that we found to the mix. It was lime green with spiky clusters of fur and a burgundy stripe and white stripe down the side. We found out it was an IO Caterpillar and they STING! I picked him up and put him in the cage and he didn't sting me. I guess I was lucky. The next morning we went out to check on the caterpillars and found that ther was a hole in the netting that one of the caterpillars chewed through and they had escaped. All except the one that went into a cocoon that night. I am sure the IO caterpillar is the one that chewed through the netting and ruined our bug cage:( Evil caterpillar... Oh well, it was a great lesson and at least we still have a cocoon to watch. We needed a new cage anyway, the door was already broken, and it has housed many bugs.
