Access to the forbidden cupboard

When Jake was a baby, we were on board with the whole "baby proofing the house" thing.  We put little covers over the electrical outlets and put things on the doors to make it difficult to escape to the outside.  I tried to install things on the cupboards so they were off limit too.  Mike was helping and without more of a story than you wanted to know...we only got one "lock" on one cupboard.  It happens to be to the lazy susan.  You know, where we keep all the dangerous things like cereal.  If only we had started with the one under the kitchen sink, then I wouldn't have to worry about the poisons that Nate could ingest. 
Anyway, Nate has always wondered about that cupboard.  It's the only one he hasn't had access to.  Not only that, but he watches the other kids get tasty treats from there and can only whimper in sad rejection when the door is closed in front of his face.  He has tried to open it...even tried to wedge his hand into the 3 inch gap before the lock engages.  It's sort of like a raccoon trap. 

Well, as you can imagine, the point of this post is that one of the kids didn't close the door all the way and Nate found himself staring at the treasure trove within.  His "oh wow!" was enough to melt me and let him look in there for a little while before I dragged him away and off to his chair to eat.  He dropped a few cans and made a small mess, but he loved it.

The somewhat sad part of the story though, is that now he couldn't care less about the cupboard.  He no longer comes running when he sees that it is about to be opened.  He doesn't wedge his way in front of the kids and have a crying fit when the door is closed before he can get a good look.  He saw what was behind the mysterious door and was left un-impressed.  I wish I could say the same thing for all the naughty places he frequents.
