Decorating the Tree (2)
(Or: Try to Keep a 2 1/2 Year-Old from Breaking Delicate Ornaments)
The Lights
Hanging the lights on the house is a scary proposition for me. Each year I face my fear of heights by climbing on a ladder that doesn't quite reach the roof. Then I climb on the roof. I make my wifely unit stand outside in case I fall to my death. I guess I find comfort in knowing she will be there as I fly toward the ground.
(Could she, would she break my fall?)
Sophia Check It Out
We spent most of the weekend pulling boxes out of the attic and decorating the house. The girls had a wild time getting into stuff that had been out of site for such a long time. Sophia loves all sorts of head gear. Between the antlers, elf hat, and Santa hat she had something on almost the entire weekend. (She even slept in a Santa hat one night.)
Reindeer Francesca
Sunday night we had everything out, the lights on the house, and it was time to decorate the tree. Francesca loved pulling ornaments out of the box. Fortunately she wasn't that keen on actually hanging them, because she doesn't really get the fact that the hook has to actually hook onto something. But she didn't mind Karen or I taking the glass bauble from her and finding a spot for it.
The Decorating is Over
