After our day out at the Planetarium, we stopped by McDonald's for lunch. As we walked in, Max noticed a butterfly in the doorway. He ran over to it and stuck out his finger yelling, "I want to hold it!"
He did it just right, without touching its wings. It hopped right onto his finger and stayed a while. Max was so excited.

After a while, the butterfly flew over onto Maddie. It crawled up her arm to her back and tickled her a bit. Then it flew right onto the front of her shirt. It wasn't moving after that. We went outside to set it free, but it wouldn't budge from her fluttery flowered shirt. Maddie said, "I think it thinks my shirt is a real flower!" Maddie's gentle approach was not motivating the butterfly to fly away home. Maddie very excitedly told me she had an idea. "I am going to take the butterfly over to a real flower. The it will crawl on that and it will be safe!" She ran over to a flower pot, lifted the part of her shirt with the butterfly near to a bloom, and the butterfly crawled right up onto it. She was thrilled that her idea worked.
