Decorating HER tree

After we put up our family tree in the living room, I told Ana she could have her very own tree to decorate. I had gotten her Sesame Street ornaments and she LOVED it. After she finished she said, "Target...more ornaments?" SMART GIRL! Training her right! :) She has decorated this tree bunches of times now. When she starts to mess with the "big tree" I tell her to go play with her tree and that has worked well. Ana loves the movie "The Grinch". (The old cartoon version.) The second time she watched it, I was sitting with her and I looked at her and she was CRYING! I asked her if she was sad and she said, "No...happy mommy...Grinch nice now". (It was the end of the movie when he is carving up the roast beast.) I was floored and called a friend who is a child psychologist to ask her if a 3 year old could have that happy/cry emotion. She said some kids do and if she is a sensitive kid...she could be in tuned with that emotion. I really do think she gets it! What a sweetheart she is!
