... harden your belly!
We had spoken to a few people who recommended that we spend an afternoon late in the pregnancy to have some fun and solidify, literally, this moment in time by creating a belly cast. Belly casting is exactly what it sounds like; molding a cast of a belly using plaster and gauze ... in this case, Alison's nearly-nine month pregnant one. So, we took some time out of making vegetable stew for Sonya and Henry today to get a little messy and mold our memories for posterity sake. We aren't certain what we'll do with it just yet; we could paint it like those on this website, bronze it, laminate it, decorate it or leave it the way it is. Our Bradley teacher has hers hanging on the wall of her infant's bedroom. This site explains fairly well the basic process we followed.
So easy a caveman could do it!
Was supposed to use warm water ...

Finished product drying in the August sunshine.
