best toddler pull toys image

I am on partial bed rest so it is hard to get up and down to keep my toddler away from pulling on the stockings and the tree decorations. I was wondering what everyone else is doing, or if you just didn't put decorations on the bottom half of the tree.
Answer
We have a gate around the tree in the living room, but it can easily be pushed over. We keep my 21 month old out of the glass and fancy decorations but allowing her to have her own. We put up a tree in her playroom and we decorated it with plastic ornaments that can't be broken or swallowed and we stacked fun Christmas themed boxes under the tree that have some of her toys like her little people or toy cell phones. THis gives her the feeling that she can enjoy playing "decorate the tree" and wrap gifts without constantly hearing "no-no". She loves to take the ornaments on and off her tree and hide toys in the boxes too.

How often does your toddler have tantrums?

Does your toddler have them daily?
Or are you one of those lucky parents were your toddler is very well behaved and rarely throws a fit?
If you have a tantrum story your toddler ever had in public I would like to hear it.
Answer
My oldest was actually pretty well behaved and rarely ever had one. Maybe a small meltdown once a week-which I certainly wasn't complaining about ;) When my second son came along, he had a few more. He's three right now and he'll have off days sometimes and he'll throw 3 in one day,then sometimes he'll go a week without any. It just depends.
My three year old had a pretty bad one in a Target a few months back..it wasn't pretty! He got it into his head that mommy would buy him every toy he wanted, and when I didn't, he got upset. Really upset. My 5 year old was with me as well and he tried to help calm him down, but he was so fired up. He threw himself on the ground and refused to get up. I got some funny stares,but oh well ;) I finally just told him it's time to get up and go or else we wouldn't be going for ice cream later. He was still upset, but we pulled himself together and we left the store. It was pretty embarrassing, but...stuff happens-I got through it! lol
