I was so embarrassed! Oh well,they healed and are fine. Except for the fact that they all want to clip their own nails starting at age 2ish. :) Can't blame 'em!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780571361141805413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3421475838864238344.post-51376190602390274392008-07-31T08:40:00.000-06:002008-07-31T08:40:00.000-06:00oh how I hate clipping a new borns nails.

I admit it. I have a slight OCD problem with fingernails. As my kids get older and learn to walk, they go scooting the other way when they see the nail clippers. More than once( 2 or 3 times, not sure, blocking it out) I have clipped too far, and there is nothing worse than knowing you were the cause of your sweet baby's cries. Since my youngest is now 2 it is now less of a problem. One good thing about it is that my kids learn at a young age how to clip their own nails. If for no reason other than to avoid dad doing it!<BR/><BR/>P.S. Your twins are awesome.Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010309680686614368noreply@blogger.com
