Toes

[ailbhe]

I trimmed the children's nails again today - that's almost a week since the last time. I'm really hoping that more regular trimming will help. I've always had very straight, tidy toes and toenails, and fairly ok fingernails. Rob has curly toes and bitten fingernails. Linnea bites her fingernails and both children have weird misshapen toes and toenails, though their toes straighten out every time I buy them new shoes.

They used to fight nailclippings like crazy, and so I slacked off, doing one or two nails each time and hoping they all got done in a random pattern over time. But now I'm tackling the problem head-on.

And I've discovered that a small nailclipper is insulting, because it implies that Emer is Not A Big Girl. I guess that's useful data.

i.e. you could cut your toenails into shapes, rather than the scissors. It is National Poor Sentence Structure Day in my head today.
