George is Alyssa's catepiller she's raising as part of her Butterfly class. She is beyond excited! She's been begging to have a pet of her own for the past year and a half, and I am so glad that she thinks this counts. She was able to bring George home yesterday after school, and she has been taking good care of him ever since. George likes to eat the food paste stuff he's living on, and sometimes he sleeps. That's about all he does. Alyssa loves him just the same.
Edited to Add: George is now called George-alina. She has grown twice her original size, and she is molting. It scared us half to death until Alyssa told us, "Oh, I remember now! We have to wait and soon she'll start molting!"

Sarah's is named "flowers" and I fully expect it to die before it goes back to school. Sarah did say, however, that all the caterpillars are girls? so...maybe George isn't a good name? On second thought, George Foreman named all his children after him, even the girls. Alyssa might be right on.
Any program that offers a butterfly class has to be awesome. It sounds like Alyssa is having a great time and learning- a great combination.
