- I've always wondered how soon to start cutting nails; I know it would
- normally be a problem for me with them having such little fingers & with my
- limited eyesight. However, Remington came out with a hand-held nail trimmer
- that's really easy to use; it runs on batteries and costs about $10, I think.
- (I forget what it's called.) This is the perfect product for me once I have
- kids, because otherwise I would run the risk of cutting a toenail too short
- and causing an ingrown toenail because of it. In fact, my cousins each can
- trim their own nails with it; Matthew was even able at just about 5. (He'll
- still let his mom at times, because it is a good thing to do cuddling.)
