And then blow on her toes as we go toe to toe. No idea how we got to this point, but it all works and I need to catch my breath when it's all done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1376185 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 21:47:15 +0000 tinyperson 1376185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I don't either...DH and I were just wondering if it was weird that we haven't had to cut them yet at 14 months :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1376175 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 21:39:04 +0000 yoursilverlining 1376175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: its totally like wrestling a bear!! Haha that's why I do it when she's asleep. I feel like a spelunker with my flashlight app for light and the clippers in my hand. I've tried when she's awake, and I might as well have been sticking her with a hot poker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1376165 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 21:32:53 +0000 MamaChin 1376165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: omg it is EXACTLY like wrestling a bear!</p> <p>I sit him in my lap with the tv on to trim his fingers and he usually doesn't mind since I have to do it twice a week. He likes to hold a second clipper in his other hand though, so it's like something we're doing together haha. Toe nails are a whole different story though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1375049 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:27:54 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1375049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO LOVES having her toenails and fingernails clipped! She brings me the clippers and begs me to do it. She also loves having her fingers painted.... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1375043 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:21:50 +0000 lovehoneybee 1375043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit him on my lap, facing away from me, and put something he'll find interesting on the television (usually Elmo or Super Why). I do it often enough that he doesn't fight too hard anymore.</p> <p>Or I wait until D is home, and he holds him while playing a video game or something and I do it then (although I prefer holding him because of the angle). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1375034 Sat, 25 Jan 2014 01:01:08 +0000 sarac 1375034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. Man, it would be like wrestling a bear. She never seems to need it - maybe they just break off? It isn't an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1374516 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:45:09 +0000 yoursilverlining 1374516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she's asleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1374506 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:36:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 1374506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha she sits on my lap and watches tv. or watches me clip them! I make up a silly song, "clip clip clip!" or something. I only do a couple at a time, lol. as a result, they kind of grow at different paces and make it easier ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1374464 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 17:58:24 +0000 dolphin 1374464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She only lets me cut her nails during bath time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1374381 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 17:04:19 +0000 MrsRcCar 1374381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We trim his nails after N's bath. It takes DH and I to do it though. We can't do it alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-cut-your-toddlers-toenails#post-1374372 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 16:57:30 +0000 MamaChin 1374372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had to strap him in his high chair, turn on the tv and get on the floor (no easy feat at 8 months preggo) and wrestle his other foot! </p>
