JT and the Lights

Yesterday (Monday) we decorated for Christmas.

We went out and hand-cut a tree for our living room. We also set up a short 4ft tree in the kids' room. We went out and bought true Christmas lights for that tree... you know the kind of bulbs that are big and you have to twist into the sockets.

Anyway JT LOVED having the tree in his room. After we set it up, he asked if he could sleep by the tree, I said sure why not.

So we got out his sleeping bag.

As we were laying there talking about the day he starts to say,

"My love my lights... blue, green, pink, red, and lellow. My love my lights." He said that over and over several times to me. About 30 minutes after I left Kristin listened to the door and she heard:

"My love my lights... blue, green, pink, red, and lellow. My love my lights... blue, green, pink, red, and lellow. My love my lights."

Well 15 minutes later, mind you this is like 1.5 after bed time. Joshua comes out and says, "can we turn the lights back on?"

I asked if he unplugged them, well I went into the room and they were still plugged in, but sure enough, no lights....

It was about then that I realized there was a pile of bulbs on his pillow.

Joshua had literally unscrewed every single bulb. And when he unscrewed the last one, the lights went "out".

So we screwed the bulbs back in. Packed up the sleeping bag and within 5 minutes he was dead asleep.
