Fuzzy Wuzzy

Last month Noah kept noticing all of these caterpillars in our front yard. We would go outside daily and watch them crawl around and Noah was SO fascinated with them. One night we came home and one of the caterpillars was in our garage, so we decided that we would put it in a mason jar with some food and watch it for a few days. Well, after a few days I realized how great Noah was towards our new pet...always giving it some attention, making sure that it was given some fresh food and grass everyday, and he named it...Fuzzy Wuzzy. Now, do you remember in Monsters Inc. when Mike addresses Sully about naming Boo..."Once you name it, you start getting attached to it!". Well, that's what happened...Noah became attached, and he didn't want to get rid of his new "pet". He even remembered that he was given a little container for his birthday that was made for catching bugs and insects and he made sure that Fuzzy Wuzzy was put in there instead of the mason jar. Well...after one month of taking care of Fuzzy Wuzzy, {which, after a little research on my part, is a woolly bear caterpillar that will hybernate during the cold months and then become a MOTH in the spring...I know...very interesting!} I convinced Noah that it was time to let him go so that he could live where he was supposed to live. He finally agreed and today we took Fuzzy to the park to let him go. Noah was a good sport and told Fuzzy Wuzzy to "Have a good life". Isn't that cute! All in all, having Fuzzy was a good experience...especially for my little Noah :).
