Belly Mapping

I've been wanting to do something to remember this belly that involved the kids and it took some time. I had thought about doing a belly cast but I have never, ever thought of a use for it once it had been made (I am not one to hang a pregnant belly on my wall even if it is painted and called "art").

I did find Belly Mapping though and knew the kids would find it a neat way to visualize Whitaker before he arrives. We found the position of the baby and Simon did a wonderful job at drawing him in place.

I then let the kids color him in for the fun of it- I used washable markers which I'd highly suggest. :)

Isn't he beautiful???
