In all her lizardy loveliness....

My toddler was struggling as she tried to shove the rubber lizard into the miniature bridal dress.

I assisted by pulling on one slimy lizard arm and yanking on its slippery reptilian head.

With some effort, we were able to adorn the little creature with the fairy tale perfect bridal gear complete with a veil and strap on high heels.

I have to admit, despite her greenish appearance, she did look lovely, in a lizard kind of way.

Sure, she was minus a groom and a ring, but she was in her moment.

She simply looked glorious.

Save the bug eating and slithering under rocks for another day. Today was her time to shine.

And, judging by the lavish looks she was getting from the creatures lurking in the dinosaur bin, she just may be the belle of ball.

Kinda got me all choked up.
