Nails

Our dear boy Hyrum is a really great kid.  He's obedient and helpful, kind and sensitive with others, and entertaining and super fun.  He's just delightful in so many ways, but he's also got a pesky habit that drives us CRAZY...



He's got such a strong impulse to bite, he even bites his TOE NAILS and has the nerve to try and bite family member's nails. 

We frequently explain to him that the purpose of our nails is to trap germs from entering our body.  So, if we put them in our body, all those yucky germs make us sick.  Even after a nasty bout of the stomach flu (which we of course blamed on the silly habit) he still risks the exposure.

I guess he can't be perfect... just watch out next time you're at our house- you might find a little boy nipping at your fingers.
