For the first time today, I cut a baby's fingernails!
My youngest daughter has Harry who is three months old, and she is a litte unsure about cutting his nails, so at lunchtime, I popped down, had a sandwich with her, we bathed baby, and when he went to sleep, I cut his nails. It was wonderful - just how tiny his fingers are, and how careful you have to be, it's just something that mums do, but I have never done it before, and it made a real impression on me, so i thought I'd share it.

Indeed sara, he is such a wonderfully happy little soul - he's just learned to laugh, and he laughs all the time, he is wonderful.
No backformore - my older daughters were six and four when my wife and I met, and she always attended to the youngest, I was a lot more nervous of babies then than i am now - Harry is Grandchild number four.
I'll do that next time society.
As I said to me daughter, this is one of the jobs that you only do for a while - far too soon children are independent. For that reason I never ever refused to pick up any of my children, knowing that in a few short years, they would be too big, and that chance would never come again, so i never wasted any oporunity. Likewise bathing, tying shoes, feeding, reading bedtime stories, tucking in - all the things that they grow out of of, but their parents never do.
