I've been terrible at updating so hopefully this is the beginning of many more updates!
The day after Thanksgiving we decided to put up our Christmas decorations (the few that we have...it didn't take very long). James was in heaven. He really enjoyed everything from the tree box, to the tree, to the ornaments. We tried to put the non breakable items on bottom since we know our little boy well! It turned out looking okay but the top definitely had more ornaments than the bottom.
Big helper!
Throughout the weeks since, all the bottom decorations have come off and eventually we have just put them on the top so the bottom of our tree has nothing on it (except for the pre-lit lights of course). It looks quite funny but you do what you gotta do! The other day I ran to the bathroom while James was playing in the front room. When I came out, I found our tree had been knocked over and one of my favorite ornaments (of course) had shattered. The culprit was standing right by the evidence. I wish I would have gotten a picture but was more concerned about keeping bare feet from stepping on glass. Our tree now has a nice piece of twine connecting it to the window to prevent further occurrences...at least we hope. For some reason he loves to get behind the tree. It is a good thing we love our boy!
Our funny looking Christmas tree
Sooooo helpful! Love those rambunctious boys.
ReplyDeleteOur tree is about the same. A couple unbreakable ornaments that usually just end up on the ground on the bottom and everything else on top. We have a real tree and a really heavy cast-iron base so luckily he can't tip it over!
ReplyDeleteJames is sooo cute! :)
That's pretty much what our tree looks like this year...though the ornaments are a little lower since our girl is shorter than James. Sorry about your ornament I hate it when that happens. I hope the twine helps. Vivian hasn't tried tipping ours but she's not too found of the tree's texture so maybe we'll be okay. I miss blabbling with you all the time. Take care!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting caught up on blog reading, so my advise for the christmas tree will have to be used next year - - When we had little punkers that liked to mess with the tree, we put the tree in the playpen. It looked kind of funny, but you just have to do what you have to do!
