With each ornament I took out of the box, Nora oohed and aaahed. To the white and silver heart, she said "mine" and laid it on her chest just where her heart is. To the giant silver snowflake ornament, she said, "so pretty!" And when I took out the star ornaments she started singing "Twinkle Twinkle." (We recently realized she knows the words to most of her songs - and sings along when she doesn't want to nap...)
Nora loved putting every ornament on the tree. And they when we were done she wanted to take them all off and do it again. She took the ones off the bottom two or three times and redecorated. Each time she successfully replaced an ornament she said, "Yeah, Nora!" and clapped for herself.
She even said "night night, Christmas tree," as we went off for bedtime.
Her nose is running - maybe a cold, maybe an allergy, maybe molars - but she is happy as can be.
It was the most fun I've had decorating a Christmas tree.
