Usually we decorate either the last week of November or first week of December on the first day we have off together. This year I've been preoccupied with work and the November craft fairs, that I was rather unprepared this year. I did have today and yesterday off this week so we decorated a little. Yesterday Lavinia got up early. She usually sleeps in and I really enjoy getting at least one cup of coffee in before she appears. She has a lot of energy and I can barely keep up.
While I was getting dressed she got on the treadmill. Since she was doing well on it, I just let her go at it hoping it would tire her out a little bit. She was really exited because she knew we were going to do the tree.
Last year she had no interest in the tree and the year before she was too young. This year she had lots of fun. Since we have a fake tree I usually put it together and shape the branches and Jason does the lights and the garland. She helped me for a little bit but was bored with it pretty fast.
She then went to “help” with the lights until she discovered the garland. She played with that garland by twirling in round and round on the floor for so long that we had a time getting it untangled. She was very good putting the ornaments on the tree. We had a great time decorating and aside from driving us crazy with the sound of the beaded garland sliding on the floor we were very impressed with her behavior. And we only broke 1 ornament.
