Tears
There is not much worse in this world, than seeing your little ones cry. Especially when you know you've caused it... like when you've stretched them too long between feedings, when you startle them, or like today when you cut their little nails too close. Nail cutting always takes at least a year off my life, each time. These little ones can be so squirmy, and their nails are so small. I have to do it about twice a week for each child. That's a lot of anxiety! I've nicked them before, but never really hurt them. Until today. I was cutting Caden's nails. Toes... fine. Started on the hands and he moved just a hair as I cut the pinky nail and BAM. There it was. The tiny drop of blood at the cuticle. The tears. The hurt cry. And my mommy tears. Oh how it hurts when your baby hurts. :( :(

I cut Daegan's thumb and it bled like crazy. He got over it way before I did. So I would bite his nails when I nursed him. Now he is great with the trimming of the nails because he can watch. I feel your pain.
I can totally relate! I cut the tip of one of Griffin's fingers about a month ago and it bled for at least 30 minutes! Made me very sad. So now, I'm back to my original method of using the nail file/emory boards again. Even with Noelle, I constantly tell her to be VERY still.
