Tuesday, March 18th
A windy day in Tennessee. William and I went to Toddler Time then visited around the library.
It was a nice story time. The signing lady was there. William did sign some and several of the other children knew some signs too. I talked with the instructor. She does BabySigns which is 90% ASL . I think almost all of the signs she showed the children were ASL except for maybe bunny. The focus was on animals with Brown Bear, Brown Bear and we had fun making animal noises and signing.
William loved craft time and we were one of the last to leave. We had sheets of white paper with a white crayon. I distressed him by writing on the paper with the crayon but he settled down to painting on it quickly. The writing would show through after the paper was painted. People seemed to be amused that he colored the whole sheet.
The final product:
But one sheet isn’t enough. I wrote just his name on one side but he colored both sides of this page, flipping it over while I was talking to another mother.
After storytime, we roamed the library and chatted with my co-workers. William waved and was mostly cooperative. I would push the stroller back and forth while he leaned forward to see the wheels. He’d sit there and yell, “Go, go go!”
Then we headed out to Home Depot to pick up light bulbs, a bathroom light fixture, and some pansies. I bought a larger bathroom light fixture but it works, both in lighting and fitting in the room size wise. Opted for verbana instead of pansies.
William has to ride in the cart. He cannot sit in the cart child seats with the bar between his calves. I brought the big frog stuffed animal and tried to prop him up with him. He’ll ride along for a while then grab the sides and start trying to left himself to see around better. I’ll have to take a picture of him like this one day.
Afterwards we went home for the day. The exterminator got to our house a little early but waited for me. He sprayed the kitchen counter and baseboards, downstairs bathroom, and around the inside and outside of the front door. This is the 3 visit in as many weeks. We have little black ants that are being persistent pests. Steve found two places that they are trying to get under the house and inside. He put some bait there and hopefully the rain on Wednesday will not wash it all away.
We are using Americare and subscribing either to the annual quarterly or flex plan. Get regular sprayings to keep the little buggers away once we finally get rid of them. All of this is after I sprayed the outside, windows and doors as well as spraying the kitchen twice so it has been a five week battle. The guys that have come out have been extremely nice and seem to be confident that the ants will go away eventually. The company does have a good customer service ethic.
I cleaned the house up some. Planted the flowers while William napped and moved some bulbs. Greg came home tired and we decided not to go to Chik-Fil-A for family night. He put up the new fixture.
We chatted on the computer with Grandmomma and MaryVic. She cut up most of the time with a feather fan. It was good to see her with her curls and smiles.
Then bath and bed!
