I know some people will put baby gates around their trees or put ornaments up higher, but we've never had to do that. Our cats cause more problems than the kids! LO2 isn't mobile enough to get to the tree yet so maybe next year she will cause trouble. I guess I do tend to put the sentimental ornaments towards the top and the kid friendly ones at the bottom and let LO rearrange those ones.
Do you baby proof your Christmas tree? Or does your LO leave it alone for the most part?

We did last year but this year I put our fence around the entertainment center instead. I put "fun" ornaments at the bottom of the tree so our daughter can play with them. She likes to shake them and see if they make noise.

We are just doing non-breakable on the lower half. Will tell her no, when she touches them. She needs to learn they aren't for playing. We got her a little tree for her room last year after Christmas, so she can play with that.

DS was newborn last year, but I imagine this year it will definitely have to be out of his reach. We only have a small fake tree so I will probs put it on top of our TV cabinet.
I'm not so worried about stuff being broken, more about having to put all the decorations back on a million times a day! He understands the word no but it just causes a tantrum! I've even moved the poor cat's litter tray onto a counter as I got so sick of peeling him off it!

I'm going to attempt to just put breakable items higher and not gate my tree. J is 14 mo so I'm not sure how he'll do with the tree. If we have to get a gate we will but I'm hoping not.
