O' Christmas Tree...
How prickly are your branches!!!
How prickly are your branches!!!
Okay, so Juneau kept showing up with a scratch, then another scratch, until John comes home yesterday and this kid has a blood streak across his cheek from the nose scratch and the scratch on his left cheek. I could not figure out all day where all these scratches were coming from. I trimmed Willow's nails, thinking maybe she was "tickling" his face a little too vigorously...then we narrowed down the variables. The only thing different between yesterday and today was the Christmas tree we had put up last night. (Notice the fence) We had to put up a fence around the tree, hoping the fence itself won't be the source of more scratches than the tree itself. It turns out that Juneau and Willow like to HUG the tree when I am not in the living room. I did not see this all day because when I am in the room, they are busy piling on top of ME!!! Oh man... I felt like a mom failure. ("Don't look at my shame!!!" I say to John as I hide Juneau's scratched up little baby face.) Man, that stinks. I cannot go out in public with this kid for at least a week...

That's funny! Amya keeps asking me if I want to go cuddle with the Christmas tree...must be a kid thing.
He doesn't seem too bothered by the scratches. he kept going back for more hugs, right?! .....c.
Oh poor Nino! Maybe he should be a lumberjack someday since it didn't bother him! I don't trust Charlie enough to put up a tree so we have a silk Christmas Ficus this year! Your ornament and all the others are up to high to be destroyed!
