I have discovered my absolute least favorite thing about being a mom.
I can handle poopy diapers and spit up without a problem.
I HATE cutting Miss K's fingernails.
Her nails are so tiny and she just cannot sit still. And of course you cannot reason with a three month old, but I sure try! :) I think the other reason I dislike it so much is because of her mad little cry when I accidentally catch part of her skin or get the nail too short, which fortunately has not happened too many times. I definitely procrastinate when it comes to cutting her nails.
Anybody know of where I can get regular manicures for a three month old?

I agree! Until Caleb got a little bigger, I hated cutting his finger nails. The first time I tried it, I cut him and made him bleed. I was always very paranoid after that. I got to where I liked using the nail scissors better than the clippers because I felt like I wouldn't cut him with those.
Amen to what Steph said. Scissors are the way to go with little ones.
I always cut them when they first went to sleep. That way they were still!!
I'm right there with you. I filed JD's nails for the first couple of months. Then I clipped them while I was nursing him and he was drowsy. Now I clip them while he is distracted with the Wiggles.
Also my least favorite thing. I like the clippers better, usually try to clip when Addison's nursing and distracted. It does get easier, Teresa just sits on my lap and let's me clip away.
I never clipped my kids nails when they were babies. This may sound gross...but I would bite them off once they went to sleep after they had a bath. That way they were soft and I could feel exactly where snip them! I may be weird but it really does work.
