Time to decorate!!
We weren't exactly sure how to do this this year, so we decided to put the tree up in stages and see if it actually stayed up and unbothered. It's a lot of work to put it up and put everything on it if a certain little someone is just going to mess with it and possibly pull it over.
So, on Monday night we put the tree up and let G help. He did a great job and didn't bother it afterwards.
We put the lights on Tuesday night and let G help. A little more intrigued tonight, but still leaving the tree alone for the most part.
We got out the Elf on the Shelf and let G put him on the tree. He was most excited about this and just wanted to carry him around.
And, tonight, finally put some ornaments on. The intrigue and curiosity is growing. Grayson has learned that the lights go off when you pull the plug out of the wall and they come back on when you plug it back in. Something he is trying, but not succeeding at before getting in trouble and going to time out. The ornaments are pretty fascinating too. He wants to look at them and touch them, but hasn't tried to pull one off yet.
So, we'll try it. I'm not sure if I'll put any presents under the tree just yet. But I wanted to continue all of our Christmas traditions, the tree especially, and make this a really special time of year for Grayson.
