"Me Jus Lookin At Dat Tree"
Henry likes the "Linus from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on a Sled" ornament the best. He points to it and says, "This Henry." When I ask him who is that boy on the sled?, he affirms, "This Henry." while patting his tummy. There are some similarities!
When I hear or see the grand kids close to the tree. I say, "What are you kids doin?" They usually answer, "Me jus lookin at dat tree." We taught them to look with their hands behind their backs which works less than 50% of the time, but they usually do a nice job!

much more creative and concrete than what we often say--look with your eyes, not with your hands
I'm sure Henry thinks it's delightful that he is on the tree
and your tree is so pretty:)
I left out the part that "Look with you hands behind you back" came after some frustration of saying, "Okay! Please, just look! Don't touch!" It is so tempting and natural to want to touch it!
Thanks for your prayers for my sisters. Her surgery took 2x as long as planned. But no cancer !
She had severe gas pain afterward (she said they fill you with gas in the procedure--a laproscopic thing) but is doing okay. She did have one horrorible bit of news, though; the horse she boards (fosters for the BLM in AZ) tried to jump the barbed wire fence the day ANdrea was being released. The horse missed and impaled himself on the fence post. He staggered tothe landlady's driveway, collapsed and died. The landlady called Andrea at the hospital. Can you imagine? Andrea is the horse lover to beat all horse lovers, and the only thing that makes her cry is the death of an animal (even in sappy movies. Kill the people but don't shoot a horse.) But at least he wasn't one of her own. She has 2 donkeys, 2 horses, and a pony plus dogs and kitties.
