Clipping it fine


Not exactly reality TV material.









And really, is life even worth living?!



Let the games begin.









And. He. Went. With. Me. WOOT!



Whisk! Out came the dirt, like magic.












And I felt like mother of the year.

For a moment.





I immediately gave up.

I'd won one battle, and found myself content therewith.

Holey Moley - all your hard work on Captain A sure has paid off. I'm sure you were grinning from ear to ear. Its hard enough to get a normal 5 year old boy to sit still long enough to attend to basic hygiene stuff, but a haircut and finger nail treatment all in one day! Hooray for you. Plus you posted the next day at 5:02. I don't know how you do it all. Best - Hester

Hey, well done! I (still) bribe my 5 yr old with chocolate for her toe nails - if she can hold still while I clip them then she gets a bar of choc of her choice (and yes, that does mean she can pick a mucking great big one if she likes). Doesn't stop her biting her finger nails, but at least I don't have to try and cut them.

Applause for both of you!! And here's how I've done my kids' nails, esp the extraordinarily ticklish one, that has NEVER failed to work as they can't see you, are soothed, and you can reach them easily. Have the little darling sit BEHIND you (either on a bed or a stair step above you) and wrap their arms and legs around your body so that their warm little body is resting against your back comfortable and you can very easily reach their toes and fingers. SING A VERY SIMPLE nail-trimming song (i do the tune of 10 Little Indians but change the Indians to Snowmen b/c we live in Alaska)and the singing seems to distract and/or soothe them. trim trim trim. Done in minutes. FWIW you may never need to use my technique (have no idea how i dreamed this up years ago) as you had such a grand success on your own. Congrats again on Captain Adventures ever-progressing behaviors. And wow, you are one cool mama. ~~jo
