Those are both great suggestions, thankyou!

The container for the soap is a very good idea. It will certainly solve the problem. even if I can't get my husband and daughter in the habbit of putting it in a drawer, I'm sure the cover will discourage Samspon enough to possibly break the habit.

I tried the stern "no" (he is just so stubborn ) , but I never thought of backing it up with an alternative. He certainly has plenty of toys I could offer, great idea!

Thank you both for the fresh perspective!!
