Baby Fingers are Tough

Baby's are boring. Especially other people's babies. That's why this blog is about my baby - who is obviously not boring at all.

Three months old and the most dramatic and scarring thing that has happened to date is finger mutilation -- mommy is like jack the ripper with those teeny tiny baby fingernail clippers. I got cocky, thought I could handle a few flailing arms without causing injury to myself or others. I was wrong - and I clips off the very tippy top of Miss M's thumb. I might have been able to handle it if there hadn't been blood. That pin-prick size drop of blood sent me in a downward spiral. I don't know who cried more, but I'm thinking it was mommy. Poor mutilated M.
