Dirt, Beauty, Lizard and I can't resist

In order of appearance:

Dirt. It's become a big part of our life as spring arrived. This particular instance, Ryan was playing in some sand and decided to rest his head, in the sand. Beauty. My sister-in-law gave me this primrose. I planted it out in the backyard in a bed that I see from my kitchen window. It took off and makes me smile every time I see it. Lizard. A few posts back I mentioned a lizard I got for Ryan and put it in his Easter Basket. He took an instant dislike to it and still thinks it's his enemy. So. . . we found a way to use that to our advantage (if this makes me a bad parent, let me know!). Paul and I have not wanted to drill holes in the storage drawer that is under our dryer to child proof it. We keep stuff like stain stick, garbage bags, sponges, etc in there. Ryan loves to open it and pilfer. The weight seen in the picture worked for a while...then he just figured out he could move it. So, enter said lizard. Ryan will not touch it and if he does he pulls back like he's been burned. It has an odd consistency to it. It works. Works well. He has not touched the drawer since the lizard took guard. I love it. A few less times I have to say, "No, Ryan." And, I can't resist. Is there anything better than a peaceful sleeping child?
