So, I guess my last post was premature. The desktop has crashed again, and now we are trying to get it returned, I think it is a lemon. Anyhow, I am still struggling with posts with no regular desktop access. So here's a quick post on something Alaina has (unfortunately) learned.
With our busy, somewhat unpredictable lives, I have gotten in the habit of cutting the kids fingernails on Sunday nights after their bath and before bed. About a month ago, I noticed that Alaina's nails were still short after a week, which was unusual. The next week, same thing, short nails. Hmmmm.....Then I caught her in the act. She has started biting her nails. :(
Now, those of you who know me, know that I have been a lifetime nail-biter. I don't know when I began. But it is a pretty annoying habit, one that I wish I could get rid of. Instead, it seems as though I have passed it on to my daughter. So sorry Alaina.....A lifetime of ugly nails awaits you unless you stop now. I bought her some nail polish for Christmas, maybe that will keep her from biting? In my experience, no, but I thought I would try. Actually, the strange thing is that I am not sure that she has ever seen me bite my nails, as I tend to bite them at night after she is in bed. Either way, genetic or environmental, she bites. At age two. Ugh.
