Lucy had a new friend for about a week. If we ever were worried about her taking care of a pet our questions were answered. Lilly/Anita/the catepillar was fed 3 times a day, taken out for exercise, and taken out to be loved. Lucy worried about it being too cold for Lilly, her not having enough to play with, eat, etc. She was devastated when she lost Lilly in the grass last week. Good thing for mommy's fast hands...the bug box is now occupied by a dead grasshopper, which she has found to be an adequate replacement. (the best part about the whole deal was finding out how much Lucy is like her mother. She seemed deathly afraid to touch the catepillar with her bare hands, but I found her with dora gardening gloves on one day and she was suddenly so brave)
