Crotch buckle, meet heater.

It was a very fateful meeting.

dc3 "used the yellow hose" in his Marathon yesterday. In an effort to be helpful, the kids put the crotch buckle on top of the heater. They checked this with me, because they know they are never to touch the heater without permission. I okay'd it, and explained it was only okay because the heater was OFF. When dh got home, he saw the buckle on the heater and figured I wanted it there. He turned the heater ON. About an hour later I discovered it and the buckle is toast. Well, not toast, more like a melted marshmallow.

I guess the timing couldn't be better because that Marathon expires in less than a month. In a couple weeks we're giving dc1 a Frontier for her birthday, and passing the Regent down to dc2. Now dc2's Marathon will be passed down to dc3. dc3 will be in our spare Scenera until then.

I guess it's a good thing this happened to force my hand because I'm a huge follower of expiration dates, but it's hard to see your kids babyhood relics get tossed.

What, no pics?!

:sorry!: I don't post pics to forums.

It looks normal from the front and all 4 sides, but the back is a wiggly-wavy mess. dh checked to see if it still worked (just curiosity) and it doesn't.

And today he soaked the Scenera, this time on purpose. Back in diapers he goes!
