Our christmas tree has slowly changed its appearance. It now has only the top 2/3 decorated, with the exception of the occasional handmade baby-proof cloth ornament that my daughter has not yet pulled down. Our tree this year is a fake tree with lights already attached in the branches. This is great for two reasons 1) no string of lights for her to pull down, but the tree still at least is lit all over even though it isn't decorated all over. 2) No loose pine needles to have to worry about my daughter snatching up and shoving in her mouth. I do miss the smell of the traditional real christmas tree, but it is very much worth the lessened hassles.
I'm interested to see how she does Christmas morning with the opening of presents. Not that long ago she was terrified at the sound of the wrapping paper ripping when I was opening birthday presents. She shows interest in the wrapped gifts under the tree and she has since begun walking, making her braver, but will she still be frightened at the ripping sound? We shall see!
