I took a big chunk out of Nick's pinky tonight while attempting to clip his nails. I was mortified. :( :( :( It bled a lot, and it looks like a big ouchie on such a tiny finger, but he was smiling and telling his brother and sister all about it before he went to bed, so he's okay

Done that myself a few times. I also mutilated Sam's big toe with the clippers in attempt to get what I thought was dead skin off of it. He was not a fan. I later took him to the doctor because it grew back. He pulled it off with no tears from Sam. It grew back again, so I just pulled it off last night. I have no idea what it is. Seems like it could be an ingrown toenail but I dunno. Anyway, yeah. :)

yeah, he's fine today. Athough he's got a pretty sore bottom from a poopy diaper last night. He slept almost 12 hours and is sleeping AGAIN! eesh.

A Poem

Fingernails
By Kevin Klein

I reach into the crib on tiptoe, holding
my breath from the railing in my ribs, angling
the headlamp beam away from her face
so the light doesn't make her look
impersonally angelic. She is the messenger
of herself, has come to say
she will not keep her hands still when awake.

There is the tick of the wall clock,
her little breathing, and the click
of my clippers. She has come to make mystical
and fulfilling as religion even these tasks
of human housekeeping. In the halo's yellow edge
a frown puckers her face. She stretches, farts,
and turns to let me reach her other hand.

Dude! The one day we don't go to the park! :b

I know! When we got there I thought, "I'll call Angela and see if Liam is napping yet, maybe they'll come down." then saw I must have left my phone in the garage on our way out. When I got home and checked the Mommy Board, I realized it had been the morning of Angie's playgroup! And we were RIGHT THERE. arg.

We were at the park from 11:30 to 1:00.
