Oh Christmas Tree

We usually put the tree up during the first weekend in December. I honestly debated if we should even attempt having a tree this year as Ethan is so... so "curious", I guess you could call it. Well - here we are putting up the tree, and I am happy to report - NO NEWS regarding the tree. Ethan was interested, and he pulled off a couple of the ornaments, but he has been very gentle and careful so far. Most of the time he leaves it alone. When something catches his eye - he fingers it and occasionally it is exciting enough to merit an attempt to pull it from the branch it is looped to. There are even presents sitting underneath - which he likes to pluck the bows off of - but if this is the worst he will be I'm excited about that!I guess it helps that we only have paper, wicker, and wire ornaments on the tree... the glass balls hanging in the dining room window are much more shiny and exciting and get pointed to a lot. Good thing they are OUT OF REACH!
