Dol-Jabi (friend's daughter's the first birthday)
Today is Rachel's friend's daughter, Ashlyn's first birthday and my family joins the big party in a hotel located at Los Angeles Korea town. Stella's birthday is also coming in few months and we want to see how to do the "party" thing. (It's headache of Rachel, these days) It is Korean tradition to let the baby pick up one of items which represents the future job of the baby. BTW, lots of parents only prepare items related to what they want their kids to do. For example, more and more parents prepare stethoscope with hoping their kid becomes a medical doctor. Ashlyn also picked up stethoscope and her parents were very happy about this. Originally, Korean parents prepare money(wealth), noodle, threads(long life - health), book(knowlege - study), bow(strong - worrier or general), pen(government officer - the only official job in old time), etc. Interestingly, a medical doctor was not a good job at that time but those preferences are changing.
