Fingernail snack

Do you need more patience? Try cutting the fingernails on a baby. Well, throw in the toenails for a special patience lesson.  Here is why it makes you patient:

1, the nails are super duper small
2, if you have an active baby who jerks his arm or leg as soon as you touch them, it adds to the experience
3, you are worried to hurt your baby
4, the mere concentration and focus to do it right, hurts your eyes and makes them dry

Or you can do as our previous nanny said, bite them off. I tried to explain to her than it is not good to chew your baby's nails because the human mouth has a lot of bacterias. She persisted, -No, no, not from mother, mother no problem. I finished the discussion with firmly saying that in this house we cut fingernails, (we don't use them for snack). No, I did not say the last part
