Amanda has this nasty habit of immediately clutching my neck, face or hair the minute I pick her up, and it's incredibly painful! You'd think I'd know how to avoid it by now, but for some reason she still gets me every time, and seems to enjoy watching me yelp. I've cut her nails as closely as I dare, but I'm a little overly cautious since I accidentally trimmed them too far and made her bleed the first time I tried it. I managed to trim Eva's nails for over two years without cutting her even once, but somehow slipped up with the second one. Go figure!

I have this exact same problem and those little claws HURT! Many web sites suggest biting your child's fingernails as odd as that may sound. I'll admit I have tried it and no one bled like they did when I tried clippers but it feels really...weird to do it.
