The Hungry Caterpillar!





Rowan has a new pet! Or so he thinks! Right now, this very hungry caterpillar is chilling in a jar on our front porch. Just until Nadine comes home to see it! Then she'll be released into our tree. Daddy and Rowan found this big caterpillar while working in the front yard today. She is a Cecropia Silkworm. When she cocoons she will become a moth that has a 6-8 in. wing span. She is really neat looking. Fully expanded she is about 6 inches long!
Rowan is having a pretty good day today. He has been really sick since Friday. In fact, he has pneumonia, but the antibiotic seems to be working! I am sick right there with him. I don't think mine is pneumonia, it's just a nasty cough and mucus.

It's just like a mommy to share the pain and sickness. I hope he feels better soon. Love the caterpillar he is cute!

watch them lungs and the first sign of anything - he should get small doses of antibotics like uncle john - even if starts in head will go to lungs lol Rowan - ask mom for chicken noodle soup..
