Buckle... Buckle... Unbuckle...

Well, if there is one thing I know for sure... Ivey does not have ADD. That girl spends hours each day buckling buckles. She literally sat at the table in her booster seat for over two hours the other morning. She buckles, then asks someone to unbuckle her. Buckle, unbuckle, repeat. She buckles Olive's swing seat, the bouncy seat, my camera bag... anything she can find. When we get home from a car trip, Ivey has to get out of her seat and go around the car buckling each and every carseat buckle. Now, when Asa and Addison get in the car, they have to unbuckle their seats before they can get strapped in.



Maybe this is part of the reason we can no longer keep a diaper on her? She has developed this nasty habit of unhooking her diaper... at any chance she gets. The other morning, we were getting ready to leave for church when Jeff noticed water on the floor. Was her diaper leaking? No. Under that cute Sunday School dress was a naked little tush... a naked little tush that just peed in the floor.

When we put her to bed at night, she has to be in zip-up pajamas. I had a dentist appointment the other morning, bright and early. I left Jeff with all four kids and ran out the door. When I returned, Olive had screamed herself into a cold sweat. She was in her bed, completely out of her mind. I expected such. What I did not expect was to see Jeff leaning over Ivey who was standing the tub. It seems that she had taken half of her diaper off and pooped down her pants legs... smearing it everywhere. Needless to say, Jeff was more than ready to go to work that day.
