Hellobee Boards

I'm totally putting a tree up. I made a fence to put around it, though.

I will have a 15-month old on my hands and he tends to gravitate to all the shiny things {just like his mama!} so I think we're taking a pass this year.

We just put our tree up and we have a nearly 17 month old (it's early, I know, don't judge ). We put all the expensive ornaments up high but there are still loads within her reach. The day we put it up (Sunday), we had to tell her about 5000 times that we just look, we don't touch, and had to be right by the tree to show her what we meant by that.. Yesterday, (Monday), she was much better and I only had to tell her not to touch occasionally....although a couple of times she did sneak an ornament off the tree and would run down the hallway chewing on it! I fully expect that today I will have to remind her not to touch the much less frequently as she is getting the message that we don't play with it.

We want her to get used to the idea that there are certain things she can't play with and that we're not going to put everything out of her reach. So far, it seems to be working....
