Linda and I put up the tree (no lights or decorations) while Owen was outside playing with Papa, so that when he came inside, he got excited and exclaimed “CHRISTMAS TREE!”
Then throughout the rest of the day, he’d walk by Charlie (who was laying in her customary spot in the corner chair in direct view of the tree), stop, look at her, hold out his arms, then swing them around to point to the tree saying “Charlie! Look! Christmas tree!” Adorable!
