Christmas morning.
For about a month we had this large pine tree in our living room, as is the pagan/Christian tradition. We decorated it sparesly starting about 4 feet from the bottom up. It looked ridiculous, but we were worried about Lotus pulling it down, since Yaneth, Lotus’ foster mother, had warned me that happened last year. Yes, at three months old our freakishly strong daughter pulled down the Christmas tree. This year though, Lotus didn’t even notice this addition to our dining room until Christmas morning when there was a huge stuffed lion underneath it. It all seemed to come together in her little mind. As if she realized we hadn't had some weird interior decorating fascination with all things red and green and it all actually had some sort of purpose. So after running around the house for a bit she got down to business of trying to drag a stuffed lion that is twice her size around the house.
