One of the stories in Isaiah's school reading book was about a boy who was trying to find a pet that would not make him sneeze. In the end the boy settled on an ant farm. Isaiah was intrigued and thought that would be really neat. And so Isaiah was given an ant farm for his birthday. The only problem was that the ants arrived dead. He waited very patiently for me to order a new batch. I ordered double the amount and they arrived very much alive! He was so excited.
We put the ants in and he sat and watched and carried it around for the next day.
Ultimately we decided it would be best if it lived at Grandma and Grandad's house for now since the temperature in our house is not consistent. Isaiah put it right beside him while he does school.
We all enjoy checking on the tunneling progress each day. Isaiah takes it over to show Great Grandad every couple days. Great Grandad enjoys seeing it and that Isaiah then grabs a huge handful of pretzels out of the his container. This is a week or so of work by the ants. The picture doesn't really show the itricacy of the tunneling i the left top corner.
