It finally happened! One of the ornaments fell from the Christmas tree and shattered beneath it. I didn't actually see it take place, and I am not sure the exact cause; however, I do know that Sam crawled over to the tree and was holding a large broken piece of glass. Fortunately, I was able to remove the glass from his hand as well as beneath the tree before anyone got hurt or tried to consume it.
Between James using the tree as his new diaper filling station (he likes to hide behind it) and the boys playing in and around the tree...including try to hang the toys on the tree or throwing small plastic balls at the tree, I am thinking somehow the ornament got knocked down during play. I don't blame the kiddos, but I am a little sad because it was a beautiful painted ball ornament with an angel and shepherd on it that was given to me by my mom several years ago.
The lesson learned is perhaps I will wait a couple more years before I hang fragile ornaments on the tree. Although the fragile ornaments were hung out of reach, apparently that was not a good enough solution.
