I forgot to tell a story about Danny. After everyone else had gone to the other end of the house, Danny came back to help me put ornaments on the tree. There was a box of small balls left. He was working on those. After he had put a few on the tree, he attached three together with three different hooks and said, "Is that cute, Mom? I want it to be like jingle bells." I told him that he had a good idea. I showed him how we could put three balls on one hook and then put them on the tree. As he was trying to put three on the same hook, he dropped a ball, and it broke. I said, "That's okay," and I swept it up. He got that set put on the tree. Then, he started on the next set of three. He dropped one again, and it broke. I said, "Danny, Be careful!" He said, "You're not mad are you, Mom?" I told him that I wasn't. Then, he began working on his next set. This time, he sat on the floor and dropped one. He said, "They don't break if you drop them easy, Mom."
