Most of you know, cutting Jonah’s nails has always been one of the hardest things to do.

He hates it. He usually screams the whole time and tries to put his nails “back on.”

I always dread cutting nails.

But today?

Jonah found the nail clippers and got it in his head to cut his own fingernails without a single prompt.

And I have a mind to let him. If he cuts himself, he cuts himself. There is no greater teacher than experience.

I’ll take it. If he only cuts a few nails or half of one, I’ll take it.

LOOK HOW PROUD HE IS OF HIMSELF!

Jonah’s biggest asset is his fierce sense of independence.

It will serve him well for the rest of his life.
