You can laugh at me next yea...Good luck with that. You can laugh at me next year when I'm dealing with the same issues. Also, our "tree" if you can even call it that is one of the little 3' table top ones. I just haven't had the motivation to fool with a big one/real one the last three years.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293850947288864974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488777415701981445.post-17719246047234889912008-11-26T10:07:00.000-06:002008-11-26T10:07:00.000-06:00I usually see the trees with the baby gates around...I usually see the trees with the baby gates around them, to protect the ornaments from grabbing. :)HereWeGoAJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457680345376171720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488777415701981445.post-49568547808043439602008-11-26T08:28:00.000-06:002008-11-26T08:28:00.000-06:00Asher was almost exactly Olivia's age last year, a...Asher was almost exactly Olivia's age last year, and we had the same dilemna. One thing we realized is where you put the tree in the room makes a big difference. We put it in a far corner - not where we would normally have chosen - but it limited the access Asher had to it. I also was very serious about "no touch" in the beginning, and between the work it took to get to it, and the sincerity of my "no," he left it alone most of the time. But I would definitely put nonbreakable ornaments at the bottom.<BR/><BR/>This year we're going to put ours up on Friday (we get a live tree) while Asher is at Grandma's, and decorate all but the bottom section. He's old enough to have fun with it this year, but too young to have the patience for the hours of work that happen before the fun. I'm really looking forward to it though.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16175187905212028267noreply@blogger.com
