You know you’re out of the baby/toddler stage when…

I can’t wait for that day!
I had similar thoughts last night as we decorated the tree – with every glass ornament(many vintage) that the kids could find. And you actually have to walk around the tree to get into the living room, so that adds to the danger factor!
But when the football-throwing, soccer ball-kicking stage arrives, that snowglobe is going back in its box.
Twasn’t meant to be Humbugish, just … practical.

I just thought it sounded funny 
A realistic assessment of the situation is often mistaken for pessimism.
Oh, I PINE for this day! Our Christmas tree is less beautiful than in past years because all of the delicate/cherished ornaments are clustered around the upper branches, with the softer and less well-loved ornaments nearer the bottom.
Reminds me of when my daughters were young. One year, I put the Christmas tree, Nativity, and the gifts in the playpen. This way, they could look but not touch. Kept the dog out of trouble also.
Our youngest is 5 too and we love not being in the baby/toddler stage any longer!
Thanks for the inspiration! Next Christmas we’ll have an almost-1-year-old. I will start thinking about that now!
Also, when I was in high school, my friend’s dog would eat the Baby Jesus out of any Nativity scene she could reach. Only Baby Jesus–never even touched any of the other figures. Once, she got Baby Jesus out of a manger and left that behind. It’s a good thing for Bonnie that all dogs go to Heaven!
not when you have pets………..they can be just as bad as babies/toddlers.
