We probably spent another 20 minutes outside with the caterpillar because Ella wouldn't leave her. She wanted to play with her and love her.
I finally convinced her to put her new friend in her flower pot that we had just planted her seeds in. Of course the caterpillar moved all around in it and even around the edges. Ella wouldn't leave her. She wanted to know that she would be safe. I told her she would be safe that she would either stay there or go looking for food.
The next morning of course she was gone. Ella was sad but ok with it. We went to the store, came home, ate lunch and went outside to play. As we were heading outside to play something amazing happened. The caterpillar came crawling across our porch step! She hadn't gone very far after all. Ella was so excited, I was shocked and the caterpillar had her friend again :)

That's such a sweet post! Ella reminds me so much of my girls when they were that age...every critter that came along became their friends.
Awwwww what a sweet story. Sounds like Ella loves every live thing big or small.♥
That's an adorable story, Heather. Ask Ella if she has a name for her little friend. L, Dana
