First Grab

April 04, 2017

There is a Chinese belief that on the baby's first lunar birthday, the parents will place certain objects on the floor and let the baby crawl towards those objects and the first object the baby grabs will determine his/her future career.

My niece's first lunar birthday falls on the Gregorian calendar date of 3rd April 2017 and we placed objects like books, money, calculator, pens, ruler, and a toy piano and we let her crawl and see which one of the objects she will grab. 

Each object represents a type of profession.
Book = Scholar, Publisher.
Money = Investor.
Calculator = Accountant, Auditor.
Pens and ruler = Teacher, Writer, Author, Artist.
Toy piano = Pianist, Musician.

Let's see which one caught her interest. We were all so excited and anxious in waiting for her to reveal her choice.


Her first choice was the books and when we asked her to grab a second time, she grabs another book. Wow! It seems like she's really fond of books like her uncle (ME!!! Hahaha!) Book bears the meaning that she will become a scholar or publisher in future. Woohoo!

Look at the excitement and joy on her face the moment she got the book!
