Aiden's First Bath

After our visitors left the Saturday Aiden was born, we gave him his first bath. Big Sister and Big Brother were eager to help. Noah was horrified, though, when he saw the umbilical cord stump. "What happened?!" he wanted to know. We told them it was the umbilical cord where he was connected to mama, it was cut when he was born, it will dry up and fall off like a scab, etc. A few days later, we overheard Madeleine telling Grandma C that was Aiden's "electrical cord".
