Butterflies

One way to keep Joel still for several hours is to get a butterfly kit and watch them emerge from the chrysalis. He sat there a whole afternoon just watching. 
Joel has this thing for bugs. He got so tickled when a huge carpenter bee followed him around the yard and claims that its his bug.  Also a firefly keeps following him everywhere (not sure thats the same bug but he thinks it is and is fun to watch)
He enjoyed watching the whole caterpillar to butterfly experience more than anyone. I loved watching them. Its such an amazing process... but also sad when you realize that the butterflies dont live for very long.  Such a short life for such an amazing transformation.
