Having your hands and feet sculptured

Well, it's a tradition for us to have the baby's hands and feet sculptured and mounted in a frame. So, here is a pic of Thaddeus having a mould put over his hand, and the output is a nice sculpture of his hands and feet, which I will post later in the blog when I get the frame.

Thaddeus was co-operative and seemed oblivious to what was happending, as he was woken up from his afternoon nap to have the work done. The pink 'clay' used smells very much like the kind that they use at the dentist's to have your teeth mould taken. It's harmless and feels cool when I touched it. It was really easy to do. The uncle who did it just mixed powder to water, and spread the stuff over each hand and foot, and then, made sure that they are firm enough to hold the 'impressions' of the hand and foot prints.

Great fun for mummy and daddy to watch. Don't know what Thaddeus was thinking, though.....
