very hungry caterpillar

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

has been among all three of my older children's favorite books.

So when I saw this adorable idea

for embellishing baby clothes with button caterpillars,

I immediately knew that some day I would adapt the idea

to make a Very Hungry Caterpillar shirt.

 A few days ago I eagerly seized a spare fifteen minutes or so,

collected a white onesie we already owned

along with a few buttons and some embroidery floss,

and whipped out a cute little shirt for my baby boy.

 He doesn't seem to have much of an opinion,

but his big brothers think it's a pretty awesome shirt,

and I think he looks beyond adorable in it.

Of course, I'm just a little bit biased...
