The Candy Cane King

Today Christopher and I helped Kristyn finish decorating her tree. Christopher's version of "helping to decorate" involved talking off every single candy cane he could reach. That came to a total of probably 20. He then carried them all around, opening a few, eating a few, breaking a few, dropping a few on the brand new hard wood floors. Then I started putting ornaments on the top of the tree from a step ladder while Kristyn directed me. Christopher put his candy canes between my feet and climbed on up with me. I finally talked him into "giving me a turn and sharing" so he climbed back down. The he started asking Kristyn where to hang the candy canes. "Oh, right here?" "Yes, right there." "OK!" So he would hang it on the branch he was in front of. The next time he asked her she replied, "A little to the left maybe." "OK!" And he went to the right and then hung it! It was the cutest thing ever! (Minus sweeping up the millions of candy cane crumbs at the end!)
