Well I had the most eventful 15 minutes this morning. Fun eventful I should add. I finally got around to doing Kadie's impressions. You know those plaster plaques you can make with your babys hand or footprints? I finally did it this morning. Lots of fun. Everything started out fine, mixed the plaster up, poured it into the plaque container and let it dry for just a bit. Here's the interesting part. Took Kadie and was about to stick her feet in then remembered the paper towel, there's going to be a mess with her feet so I should have that if I don't want my floors messy. Grabbed it, grabbed Kadie, sat down, tried positioning her so she wouldn't get into it as I was using her foot. Things went from good to bad to worse. She kept getting loose, she wanted to play in this squishy stuff, she wouldn't hold still, her other foot kept getting away from me. Plus my floors were a complete mess. Nix the paper towel. Forget this, called my husband up, took her hands this time, had him try to hold her fingers so we could get a nice impression. Not happening even with two of us. I layed Kadie on her tummy grabbed her one hand to do the impression, had Jer hold her other arm and finally got an impression. Nice and easy in the end. Oh it was so much fun, lots of laughs. Not the greatest impression, but thats what I get for waiting almost 7 months for all of this. You would have thought I would have learnt with Senaye. Here's some words of advice for the new parents out there. If you want to do this, do it in the first couple months, don't wait. Don't expect to have perfect imprints like they show on the box, not going to happen even if you have both your hubby and yourself doing it. Hey it may work if you make it a family affair, get grandparents, aunties and uncles to help out, you never know you may get a perfect print ;-D Time to go give the little butterball a bath, her feet are still covered.
