The Most Wonder-full Time of the Year

Photobucket

This year, I put our Christmas tree up during the boys' nap time right after Thanksgiving. When they woke up, they were both in awe when they came downstairs. Now, Ethan turns the lights on by himself every morning. He proclaimed that his responsibility and he is really proud of it. Usually it's the first thing he thinks about in the morning..."mommy, I have to go turn the lights on." Good morning to you too, son.

Logan has done really well with the tree this year. He is right at 16 months old and he is very good to just touch the ornaments with one finger (that's our rule). He still gets to explore it a little, but not in a destructive way. I have put our tree out with our same ornaments each year even when the boys were/are little and it has never been a problem with either one of them. I do put the breakable ornaments up high, but we don't actually have very many of those...most of them are plastic or other materials, which is nice. But the boys still don't take them off the tree. Somehow they've been able to handle the rule.
