Buckle Up!

Ryder is not much of a talker. He has proven to us he can say many words but rarely uses them to communicate. He seems to be more of a critical thinker. He goes nuts for buttons, light switches, computers and phones. He loves to twist the tops of the milk carton or the wheels on the bus. He gets excited about putting the shapes into their proper holes and loves putting puzzle pieces where they belong. He can turn a door handle, open a cabinet, push chairs and other things across a room, and his latest hang up is the buckles on the booster seats. He can not be in the kitchen without buckling them and grins and applauds with the sound of the click. When a meal is over, which is often indicated by his throwing of the food across the kitchen, as soon as he is out of his seat he is buckling the straps of his seat, and Chase's. If I unbuckle it, it is right back to work he goes. He does this with such a focus and a determination that it's actually amazing to watch. Someday, I am sure he will say buckle, for now he just likes to buckle.
