Judging by his face alone - he seemed to enjoy this year much more thoroughly.
We charged Jude with hanging the sleigh bell from "Polar Express." So naturally, he flung it around, inspected it, and then hit Shawn in the face with it.
And then because his depth perception and fine motor skills are still a little shaky, Shawn hung the bell.
But we took this picture so that we can pretend that it was he who hung the bell.
At the moment, it appears that the tree is calling Jude's name. He'll be playing contentedly, stop, and just stare at the tree. Then slowly, he'll use the couch and loveseat to sidestep his way over to the tree. Once at the beloved tree, Jude stops and stares. And looks to see where I am, and if I can see him. If the coast is clear, he reaches out his pointer finger and pokes at the branches. This is usually where I catch him, and my "Jude, No!" has no affect on him. That's actually rare - he listens really well. I suppose the joy of grabbing an ornament and putting it in his mouth far surpasses risking a "no," from Mommy.And maybe sometimes Mommy actually sees him creeping towards the tree, but thinks that his awe at the ornamented shrubbery is adorable, so maybe she sometimes doesn't tell him "no," right away. Maybe.
