Invention time

There is nothing like a good invention. Here is my latest. A tap extender so Bee can reach to wash her hands.

This was inspired by a picture on pinterest of one you can buy. Besides it being a silly thing to buy, we are (like Puffer) saving for travel.  Bee and I have been watching this Sesame Street video clip where the kids become engineers. We became engineers and designed one ourselves using a yogurt container and an elastic band.

The elastic band likely was once used for broccoli and then I used it for hands free pumping. I happen to find it because I just did a whirlwind trip to Toronto for work. Oy. Bee still nurses and so the pump came. That will be the last time I pump This is my changing the world contribution for this week: reusing and reducing consumerism one elastic band at a time.

When I got back from Toronto I got sick and then made Bee sick. This all happened right when F had to fly to Ottawa for a week. Lets just say that inventing this tap extender was the highlight of Bee and mine’s day together and one of the few things we did beside being sick and watching videos. She spent a lot of time washing,  drying and rewashing her hands after we made it. That was lovely since I had been up with her most of the night and got to grab a couple minutes of quiet. Tomorrow will be better and we will be both have the energy to go out and still maybe come up with an invention when we get home.
