Sandbox

We made Ellis a sandbox on our balcony.  I found an old baby bath from recycling and a bag of sand cost less than two dollars, so it was a cheap and easy project that doesn't take up too much space.  What kid doesn't love playing in sand?

I normally go straight from our swim in the afternoon to the balcony where I let him play as long as he wants, while I chillax with some tea and a book.  That way I can give him his bath afterward.

Once upon a time, I had wallpaper in my room with a scene of a tropical beach.  To go along with the theme, I had this crazy idea that I should have sand instead of carpet.  My mom said no for some reason.   Now I know why.
