tiny little daggers

Rohan's nails grow faster than weeds and have developed an unusual ability to simultaneously sharpen themselves. The telltale signs that it's been too long since his last manicurist visit are the tiny little scabs on his face, his ears, legs, arms, etc. Normally, we try to file them every few days, yet he still manages to scratch his face, his legs, and even us. If only he weren't so fussy during the process. Thus far, we've been completely unsuccessful with the clippers and are relying on a nail file.

The only time we've been really successful at trimming them is when he's asleep. Of course nowadays, when he's sleeping we are too or we simply forget to trim them till he wakes up and leaves a big scratch mark across an arm.
