Parenting Observations #4

Baby fingernails are razor sharp.  And they grow back really fast.

While one might think it would be fun to have your own personal Wolverine in the family, it’s not really the case.  Especially since he likes to grab skin and lower lips.  I often look like I’ve just gone rolling around in a rose bush.

But cutting them is a challenge on it’s own.  Alex doesn’t like to sit still, so really the only time you can get him is while he’s sleeping or near sleep.  Like last night, just before we put him to bed, I was feeding him his last bottle of the night and Sara was able to cut the nails.

Ah good times.  Now, can you pass the gauze?
