Getting Creative

We have family coming this weekend (yes, they know - no, they don't care) and we are looking forward to the company.

Today a tough decision was made to remain at home instead of infesting others at Mommy Group.

After receiving Public Health's affirmative call, I contacted an exterminator. While waiting for treatment we are  attempting our own preventative measures.

METHOD #1: A double-sided tape trap on the bed.  Paper was laid around the baby and then double sided carpet tape was attached.

Unfortunately, 15 minutes after set up, DS was messing around with the paper and began to eat it...so we had to remove this method of trapping the insects.

METHOD #2: (and our only other alternative): homemade ClimbUps.   As DS has now been bitten while sleeping in our bed, we figure it's time to rotate him back to his little sleeping area. We've quadruple encased his mattress in plastic, and created little bed-leg moats with 2 sets of pans.  The moat is filled with oil...effectively trapping any potential intruders.

Here's hoping, little buddy.

We appreciate any and all Tebowing for the evening.
