Parenting tips

Parenting tips: How to easily trim your toddler's nails. I don't know about your kids but Adeline does not like having her nails trimmed. When she was a baby I would just cut them when I rocked her to sleep. But since she is putting herself to sleep more and more I'm loosing opportunities.
So I came up with this with a little help from Jason Scott.
Jason visited Addie last summer and during his visit he entertained her with this jovial, "Boom" {in a loud BOOOOOM voice and with great a facial expression to go along}
Bringing us to this summer a couple weeks ago, I was desperate to trim her overgrown, needs to be taken care of now toenails. And in an attempt of making the process fun, I said "Boom!" after each nail I cut. Well now she LOVES it.
It makes the process easy for both of us and when she sees the clippers she says, "Boom mama, boom."
Thanks Jason.
