A Sad Story with a Happy Ending

Poor Caroline...and poor Dave...Last night I fell asleep right after we put the kids to bed. Dave, out of concern for the caterpillar, and not knowing its full importance in Caroline's little world :), let it go in our backyard. When Caroline woke up this morning, the first thing she wanted to know was, "Where's Squiggly?" Dave explained, and then felt so terrible, that we promised to take them all to the park for a family hunt of caterpillar pets. They busily prepared little terrariums after breakfast this morning, and this brightened Caroline's mood so much that she declared that this was her "best day ever!" We were very successful at the park, and now are the proud owners of Squiggly, Wiggly, Jiggly, Dorothy and Toto (Caroline's), Scrunchy, Snoozy and Squirmy (Henry's), and Rolley, Fatty and Sleeper (Seth's).
