Baby has some dagger nails

My baby boy has some nails. For such little fingers those things can sure scratch. He gets himself and everyone around him too. I have to wait for him to sleep to trim them. Unfortunately I don't want to go anywhere near him while he is sleeping. I treat him as a live grenade during that time. His small power naps are used to go to the bathroom or get something to eat, or to even do a dish or two. Taking the time to trim his nails isn't worth the risk. I pay the price later on however.
