a monster of emotions

Tonight after the bath I asked James if I could cut his fingernails and toenails

that have been neglected for months.

He yelled, "No", grabbed the clippers from me, and began whining...

I bribed him with the camera...he loves taking pictures with mommy's camera, and he finally handed them over and let me clip his fingernails.

He actually thought it was funny...

I thought for sure he'd let me go for his toes after all that enjoyment,

but boy was I wrong.

When I told him I was cutting his toenails I got this look...

And then when I actually attempted the cut I got this...

And, no matter what I bribed him with this time around there was no backing down.

I guess we will deal with jagged sharp toenails a bit longer.

Once I gave up on the trimming and asked if he wanted to put on his PJ's and read some books

I got some more of this back...

Happiness Restored.

Until next cut...
