We debated getting a tree this year. I had heard that it can be challenging to have a tree with a toddler, and we do entertain two toddlers here two days a week. My coworker's husband's family owns a tree farm in WI and she delivers the trees to my work - so easy and such beautiful trees. So we took the plunge - both Z and her cousin A did fine with the tree. We put all the breakable ornaments up high and let Z take anything in reach off the tree at will. She could tell us that there was an "anjo" at the top of the tree when asked, and her favorite ornament was a small bell will an angel on top that she could ring. Every couple of days, she would take it off, shake it, and sing "Jingo bews" - sometimes complete with a little dance. We finally took it down last weekend (since I couldn't bear to do it the weekend before) and delivered it to the S. P*aul tree recycling. All in all, the tree and the anjos were a huge success!
