Forget about bronzing those baby shoes ... the latest trend is baby bum casts!

If you simply can't stand the idea that your baby's butt will grow up one day, by all means get yourself the Lil Bumkins Baby Bum Casting Kit. The kit comes with everything you need to immortalize your baby's bottom for all time. We wonder, does it come with instructions on how to restrain a screaming child as you try to push them into cold plaster? 

We all know there's nothing as adorable as a squishable baby bum -- but to cover it in plaster as a keepsake? Guaranteed to be more humiliating to your grown-up kid than that nudie bearskin rug snapshot.

Is this "crafty" idea in the same weird category as making mementos out of your placenta?
