That is really funny – my daughter, 4, has a very similar arm to Jordan’s. And I’ve also had the thought about budgeting manicure money for her when she gets older. The fact that other moms might think the same made me laugh out loud, but I enjoyed the posting about how Kristi’s son can do it himself. We’ve gotta keep the faith!

Oh wow Kristi! That is SO cool. I had just assumed in my mind that she’d never be able to trim her own nails. I was already trying to figure out how to budget manicure money for when she gets older! Ha!

That’s awesome! My 4 yr old son, who has a very similar limb difference to your daughter, came up to me not long ago and showed me that he cut his own fingernails. Of course, my reaction was, ‘Wow, how did you do that? Show mommy!” He ran and got the nail clippers, carefully balanced them against his chest and used his little arm for the clipping motion. It was amazing! I never would have thought he could do that (at least at his age) and I’m so glad he isn’t limited by *my* ideas of what might be possible for him.

Very impressive! If she (or Cheryl) would like to try another method (for softer foods like pancakes) try a pizza cutter.

I didn’t think most kids w/2 hands could manage to cut things til closer to 5. I am really impressed at how steady she has the fork. It doesn’t look wobbly at all. I myself find any way possible to not use knifes even though I can (I do have CP, thus hand issues) and prefer to “cut” pancakes with the side of my fork. Only 1 hand needed…

WOW! She’s one impressive little problem solver! Tell her I’m going to want to see this one in person!
