Buckles

Christine has a new favorite activity: playing with buckles.

 She takes her stuffed animals and buckles them into her high chair. Usually she asks "Mommy Mommy Buckle Buckle! pleeeeease"  and I come over unbuckle Doodle Bear or Tangie bear from the high chair and she rebuckles the straps and this keeps repeating until Mommy gets tired of unbuckling. 

 Occasionally if Mommy is still cleaning up from lunch the animals get fed snacks, like this unnamed bear who got fed yogurt.

This activity is not limited to her high chair. Anything with buckles will suffice. I babysit our friends' little girl Claire during the week, and every time an animal or baby doll gets strapped in to Claire's car seat. I still laugh every time I unexpectedly find a stuffed friend in the car seat all buckled up and ready to go!
