If you want to see a kindergarten teacher jump into action just tell her that you saw a furry caterpillar in the play yard. A deceptively innocent looking creature that should be avoided at all costs. If the fur gets on you it itches like mad! As soon as you scratch it spreads to anything else you touch. Seeing one is pretty rare.
Today on our tree we found a patch of at least 30 of them!! Even Moses had never seen anything like it and has no idea why they were huddled together.
Each one is about two inches long. I tried to get a close up but because of all the long soft fur the camera had a terrible time focusing. Suffice it to say it was disgusting and I would never have gone anywhere near them if I didn't keep a blog!! Moses shook them all off into a tall bucket and then buried them in sand. Hopefully this won't happen again.
And Theo is full on walking now. But some things are still more fun if you do them together.
aaaaaaaaaaah so cute!!!!!
