On Sunday afternoon, I spent time erecting our Christmas tree and then adorned it with bright shiny ornaments!!!!!!!!!!!! While the entire time, the boys ever so lovingly watched their mother become the Christmas fairy and decorate away!
I will admit, they did very well as I placed the tree up and turned on the lights...............they were not too interested in it............Hayden just touched the limbs as you can see in the picture, and that was about it. Brady wasn't even that interested.
Then came the bright, shiny things..............and that got their attention. I have placed non-breakables on the bottom limbs as I don't want the boys to live in a world of "no" and I would like them to understand what they can touch and not touch. To date, then have broken three ornaments in some fashion or another, and love to pull the ornaments to pop the hanger tops off of the ornaments.
However, we have started "encouraging" them to only look not touch!!!!! And by encourage, I mean using NO and popping their little hand............which just makes them stop pulling on that one ornament and start pulling on the next closest one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
