if you give your kid the clippers…

ok, i did not GIVE him the clippers, but maddox grabbed them and immediately demonstrated the fact that baby nail clippers are not as harmless as i may have thought. he got his hands on them for about 2 seconds today before i grabbed them from him. we continued to play and a few seconds later, i noticed blood on many things including dripping down the window we were beside. yikes. he did not even realize he had hurt himself. he was only upset that i made him hold a wet towel on his finger to try to stop the bleeding! i can’t believe he did not cry about the cut. i mean, he cried at the doctor a few days ago when he was being weighed but did not cry at the finger prick. in fact, he was enthralled watching the blood go into the tube as they collected it. then he wailed at the shot in his arm. hm – maybe his fingers have no feeling?? well, it’s for sure that we can never assume how he’ll react next. oh – he also cried when cora screamed as she got her shots. so tender – that i too had trouble keeping it together there in the pediatrician’s office. sniff.
