Day 316 - scissors

I've been making Courtney use her little plastic scissors (which hardly cut) for so long even though she kept asking for big girls ones.  Today I finally gave her some and boy do I feel silly.  She was so ready for them.  Now I'm afraid I held her back in her cutting skills.  I know, it's just scissors and she'll recover but I was just afraid she'd cut herself and I'm not good with that aspect of parenting.  Ken stays calm with blood and I panic.   I told her to be careful and watch her fingers so many times that she even laughed.
