Arts & Crafts: Week 15

So, I'm sure many of you are wondering what to do with your next baby's umbilical cord stump after it falls off. Don't worry. It's a completely normal thing to be concerned about. I'm sure you're not alone. In fact, I know you're not.
Luckily, there's a solution to your problem!!
And even better, it's just a simple Saturday afternoon project. You take the leftover umbilical cord stump that some wasteful people over concerned with hygiene and smell would throw away and you place it gently into an empty and not necessarily clean Coca-Cola or other used soda bottle. Then fill bottle carefully with a handful of pebbles. Screw the cap back on tightly and Voila! You have just made you baby's first rattle. Now the next step is to shake the rattle rhythmically albeit violently and sing loudly anytime the baby is crying especially times when others are sleeping and the baby is crying. This improves the effectiveness of the "rattle."
