Houdini

Ian is our little Houdini. He could unlatch all the child locks in the house when he was barely one (something our other kids took years to figure out), and a few weeks ago he learned how to completely unbuckle his carseat. Mind you, this is the same car seat I've used for all my kids and they were FOUR before they could do this. It's hard even for me! I was just driving merrily along when I looked back to see him slipping the last strap off his shoulder. He then proceeded to jump out of his seat, unbuckle his carseat from the car itself, and try to climb up front with me. It was a sad day. I started having to use two zip ties every time I had to get in the car and go anywhere, one for the top buckle and one for the bottom buckle, and then cut them off every time I arrived somewhere. Yesterday, Daron's sister, Tama, took his car seat apart and then put the buckles on backwards and upside down. HA! We'll see how long it takes him to figure this one out!
