Target

We were at Target today in the boy's Lego aisle when all of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Matt pushing the cart down the aisle. I was talking to Aaron and did not put too much thought into it because Matt would probably stop the cart before crashing it.  

It got silent and I looked around and did not see Matt anymore but heard Samantha laughing.  I thought Samsntha had taken the cart because if Matt had, that means he knew how to turn the corner, which I was certain he could not do. 

Sure enough, I ran to the end of the Aisle and saw that Matt was pushing the cart very well and had done it alone. Samantha was just laughing at him, a very cute laugh, one she has only for Matt when he does something clever. 

Matt got to the end of the aisle, slowed slightly, but not much, and sure enough, turned the corner very well, like he'd been doing this his whole life. 

Yes!  Well done. However, he took off with our cart and my purse was in it. I'd told him to stop but he didn't listen.  

I told Aaron and Sam to wait for me (Aaron didn't flinch, he loves Legos and could've stayed there for hours if I'd've let him). I ran to the end of the aisle and turned. I called Matt and then he sang and in that manner I located him again.  He'd pushed the cart half way down the aisle he'd had gone down and he stopped when he saw that I was near. 

I was just proud of him!  I gave him a big hug and told him he'd done a great job pushing the cart. Of course, after that, he didn't want to push the cart anymore!   Lol. 

Ants

We found lines of ants leading to and stopping at the stove when we got home today.  I started cleaning but Aaron freaked out...so I had him help me clean up the ants.  He helped, but rather than wipe down the ants with a wet paper towel, like I showed him, he got the bottle of Melalueca all purpose cleaner and sprayed the ants one by one. Then doused them where the ant production line was strong. Then he wandered to the living room, and he sprayed up and a mist fell all over the place. 

Well, Samantha was cuddling with her bird when Aaron did this and she got upset with Aaron since the mist landed in the bird. 

She bathed the bird (totally doused it with water, it looked like a wet cat when she was done) and told Aaron the bird should be fine.  

Aron asked if the bird was angry with him and she said no, not anymore.
