So on the advice of our neighbors, we decided to set up our Christmas tree last night while Harrison was asleep, so that if he didn't see us touching it, he would be less inclined to touch it. While we'll never really know how much more he would have wanted to touch it had he seen us doing it, I'm going to go ahead and say that the first 2 minutes were pretty good as he was mesmerized by the lights, but now he just can't stand it. He had to listen to us say "don't touch" about 1,000 times. Then we had to grab his hand about 100 times. And can you blame him?? It's bright and shiny, and full of balls, lights, and things that jingle- which happen to be a few of his favorite things. We might as well just hang bananas on it.
Here's a video of him within the first 5 minutes of him seeing it:

I think he should be allowed to touch it. I am sure he would be very gentle:)!

What a good boy he is......he can hardly stand it. But he listened....It was so fun to Skype/Gmail video with you guys tonight and see him live at the tree and his new big boy bedroom!! I am so grateful for the computer and your wllingness to take the time to video with us. WE love it and it helps so much since we are so far apart!

Jared "helped" me decorate the tree this year....which means he hung all the silver balls at the bottom of the tree next to each other. Then I was hanging clothes up and came back into the living room to find 3 hangers and an airplane in the tree as well.
