John is two now. As gifts he got a truck, cars, airplanes, puzzle, guitar and an I-spy-quilt that he wrapped himself up in. We love having John around. I love hearing him sing songs and hearing him exclaim "I did it" when he does something of note. He sometimes hits and occasionally falls apart but that is because he is two.
Butterflies are known for their unusual life cycle that includes a spectacular metamorphosis from caterpillar to a colorful winged adult. They have an erratic yet graceful flight pattern that attracts attention when they pass. The Ancient Greek word for butterfly is psȳchē, which means soul. I particularly admire their symmetry and kaleidoscope of colors.
