Why yes, in fact there is (in my home at least)...clipping an active and very alert 9 month old's finger nails! Talking about herding cats! Sheesh!<br /><br />I'm totally going to try the highchair trick for toe nails. Still need a solution for finger nails though.FSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589454118258995448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-87493953184517252282009-11-19T16:06:36.099-08:002009-11-19T16:06:36.099-08:00I totally didn't think of using the highchair!...I totally didn't think of using the highchair!

And I find the best time to do it is after bath time, when they're soft and easier to cut. So I'll give her her lotion massage to calm her down, sing and clip. :)Miss Amelia Jane.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10373497011737640507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570553510339407807.post-85927353724667584022009-11-18T21:38:26.790-08:002009-11-18T21:38:26.790-08:00I do the same thing for clipping toenails as I do ...I do the same thing for clipping toenails as I do for painting toenails...
