Static Invasion!
January 25th, 2008
This has been one of my silliest fears – to have your entire home invaded with static electricity. We have researched all about how to get rid of it, but at the end of the day, it’s been kind of fun!
If you rub your feet on our carpet, you will shock the next thing you touch, 100% for sure. Mini-lighting bolts have been shimmering in our house all week. The tips we have gotten are to put Bounce in every dryer load, run the humidifier (dry air intensifies static), and Static Guard spray.
Side note: Noelle has a big bruise on her forehead (kind of hard to miss) and a scratch on her nose right now. She has been playing hard and is super tough.
One more funny thing: She gave her baby doll a time-out today. I heard her say, "Oh no, Oh no," "time-out!" After a while, I told her to go get her baby out of time-out (she put her in the corner). She walked up to her baby and said, "Sorry" and gave her a hug and a kiss. It was really cute. She must have had it fresh on her mind because yesterday I asked her to clean up her colors. When she said no and started throwing them across the room, she got what we call an automatic time-out. Noelle, you say? Yes, we are definitely setting boundaries with our pretty princess. After her time-out, she came back and put every color back in the cup. She’s a quick learner, and we don’t have to do time-outs often.
