A Bonding Moment

Since bringing our newborn baby home over a year ago, Piper and Stephen have shared a really special bonding moment every two weeks. At one point, Stephen accidentally cut Piper and felt so bad that he didn't want to do it anymore. No way was I letting him back out of this big responsibility so easily! I made him pick those clippers right back up and keep going because I was NOT going to do it.

Every two weeks it happens just like this: Stephen gets Piper a pillow for the floor, lays Piper on the floor, turns on Piper's favorite show, Signing Time, and the proceeds to cut her fingernails and toes. Yep, its pretty special moment!

 
I almost think Piper looks forward to her finger and toe nails being cut. She lays on the ground so still and very patiently waits, transitioning between watching her show and watching her nails get cut. Even when Stephen is done cutting her fingernails, she'll continue to hold her hand up for him.

By the end, she's loving it so much she cries when Stephen's done. Who knew someone could love getting their fingernails and toes cut so much?
