Sunday's first birthday party was today, even though her real birthday isnt't till the 19th. In the Korean tradition, on the first birthday the child is presented with a table full of goods- and each represents a future. The thread- long life, the rice- wealth, the book- knowledge, the scissors- being good with their hands, the knife- a good cook, and the raisins- lots of descendants. It took Sunday a while to choose something unlike her brother who immediately chose the spool of thread, but after a few tries, she also picks the spool of thread. Looks like my children will be living long lives. I hope they are filled with life, laughter, and lots of and lots of love.
