In an effort to plan ahead and try to minimize the damage Tristan does to the Christmas tree this year I came up with an idea I hope will work like magic. Knowing my son as I do, if I made the tree totally off limits that would become his obsession and in turn would make me say "no" far too many times in one day. So... I found an extension cord where the only piece of it available to Tristan is one big red button that you can turn the lights on and off with. As parents we must pick out battles. If I can keep my ornaments in one piece and the real tree standing tall then I really don't care if the lights get turned on and off every now and then. We hooked it up tonight and T seemed to take to it pretty well. I think his only complaint would be that he can't carry the button around the room.
