how to tame the wild beast...

that is sometimes Caleb:



Scoop him up and plop him in your lap and depending on what sort of taming you need, pull up this or this.



The badgers have put him to sleep on more than one occasion. Strange, I know, but I think it's the repetition of sound. He just zones out on the critters and before you know it, out like a light.



As for the lions, they do a fine job of squelching uncontrollable temper tantrums. As in almost instantaneously. Lucky for me the wee little lad doesn't read or really identify with dead animals yet.

One might ask what this says about my parenting skills and frankly it says I am one resourceful mammacita...if one were to ask me anyway.
