My son is obsessed with fingernail clippers! He is constantly asking me to cut his nails...although when we get down to the nitty-gritty of actually clipping, he hates it! But because he is 2 and can do everything himself these days, this is his new obsession. Every time I turn around he has a pair in his hand...and I keep thinking to myself, how did we get so many stinking pairs of clippers! But nonetheless, as I sat with him on the couch last night, clippers in hand, I couldn't help but think about the first time I cut Collier's nails...nothing short of traumatic.
He couldn't have been more than a couple of days old, when I decided he needed a little manicure! He was all snug in his bouncy seat, sleeping peacefully as I reassure myself that this is no big deal! And then disaster strikes...first nail, I cut skin and there is blood, now he is awake and oh Lord do his lungs work! He's screaming, I'm crying, my husband is laughing...it was a sight! Rest assured we got him bandaged up, neosporin and all, but I felt terrible long after the situation had past. So as I recount this memory with my now toddler beside me...I think what an odd obsession! If he only knew!

hehe! I can just see imagine how funny that would have been! :)
I once too cut Jason's skin when cutting his nails. Stupid I cut them right out of the bath. He would not let me get near him with clippers for months.
I should have you bring Collier over since we can't ever seem to find ours, especially when we need them.
haha...Quenton chews his finger and toenails. Now that is a weird (and disgusting) obsession. I just keep telling myself it is the "Hughes" in him. haha.
At least there is hope that he will become a well-groomed young man!
