On occasion, our little guy manages to scratch himself and it's time for a manicure. I've gone through this ritual a few times and have so far kept it a blood free affair for both Drake and his father. Today, however, I was feeling a little ambitious and decided to go all out and give him a pedicure while I was at it. What a headache! At least I can control his hands to some extent with a firm grip, but his leg are a different matter. Lining up the clippers on such a tiny target takes forever and then the instant before I clip the whole foot gets yanked away.
A few times, I noticed his toes were white because I was holding them too firmly. So I had to strike a balance and wait for a bit and strike like a snake when he was calm (close to never). Short of a sedative, I really don't know how to improve this process and his legs are only going to get stronger.
