Audrey and Antonino just love Christmas trees. At home, they
demand that we "Turn on tree!" (meaning the lights) even in the
morning. Once the lights are turned on, they stare at it for a few seconds then
try to grab the branches and ornaments. Yikes! My mom (aka LaMom) suggested
that we put up a toddler-proof tree in the twins' playroom so I searched the
internet for options. I found a lot of cute ideas but most of them required
plenty of DIY tasks that I didn't have enough time for. So imagine my joy when
after a few days, LaMom surprised Audrey and Antonino with a kiddie-sized
Christmas tree! Actually, it wasn't just any tree. It was the Christmas tree
she bought for me when I was 4 years old! She even let me decorate it on my
own. I remember putting cotton on the branches because I wanted a winter
wonderland-themed tree. How cool is it that now Audrey and Antonino can
decorate my kiddie tree?
