ALL parents will tell you that the newborn phase goes far too quickly.
And one mum decided she wanted to remember it forever with an adorable keepsake – casting her baby’s hand to remember how tiny they were.
But she was left in hysterics when she took the cast out and realised what had happened.
Madison Hafen took to social media to share the special moment – but it didn’t go quite to plan.
She said: “Tried to make a precious little cast of my newborn’s hand and this is what I get.”
The mum filmed herself opening up the cast and as she did her face fell into shock.
In hysterics, she kept digging the cast out only to find her newborn son had flipped her off while doing the mould.
Clearly unimpressed with being his mum’s art muse – he showed her what he thought of the whole thing.
Madison couldn’t control her laughter as she showed up the teeny tiny hand with it’s middle finger up.
With her friend in the background the pair cackled as her friend exclaimed: “you can’t make this s**t up.”
“He really showed me how he feels about my crafts,” Madison said.
The hilarious moment was a major hit online and something Madison will not ever forget.
The clip posted to her TikTok account @madisonhafen went viral with over 29 million views and 5.7 million likes.
People were quick to take to the comments in hysterics and claiming it was the best keepsake they’ve seen.
One person wrote: “Now THAT is a family heirloom.”
Another commented: “The best possible outcome.”
Creating keepsakes with newborns can be a wonderful way for parents to cherish and remember those early moments. Here are five keepsake ideas:
“Agree it’s honestly iconic,” said Madison.
“This would become my most prized possession I fear,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Fabulous, make 10 more.”
“I would cherish this forever! What an icon,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “This is PERFECT.”
