An interesting Chinesey way to spend Mooncake Festival! I brought CH (with CY tagging along) to a Zhua Zhou event held at a friend's place. A traditional ceremony where one year olds pick an item from a range of objects which may indicate their future inclination. It's all done in good fun but once this ceremony will affect the way parents bring up their child!
Before that, free play...Kym has soooo many toys! Lucky Scarlett!
Overwhelmed!
Getting prepped before the event
The objects
Letting loose...
No deliberation at all...
Waiting for the verdict
Well, this is all in good fun. She probably chose the stethescope coz it's pink. Or maybe it's something new to her (no, we don't bring the kiddoes to the doctor so they aren't familiar with 'doctor', 'stethescopes' or the 'waiting room'. But of course they love their medicine and if daddy does it, the vaccinations are ok too :)). Actually, the last thing I want is for my girl to go to medical school. Haha, the vanity of parenthood of course at times make me wish they are smart and strong and gifted etc. But I am also aware of the perils of life on the fast track.
In fact when I told RJ after the incident he looked at me then said 'Can we influence her not to? Maybe Zoology will be better? (ok that is my hb's unfulfilled ambition in life)'
