Romanian Tradition

We also included a Romanian tradition in the day's festivities. In Romania, on the 1st birthday, babies are presented with a tray of items which represent various professions. The first 3 items that they choose is a prediction of what they will do later in life!


Here is the tray of goods as Tati explains the story (note that the deck is stacked with 2 combs from our Little Muzz who wanted to see someone become a barber - it definitely worked in her favor!)



Mason chooses...

1. A basketball*


2. A stethoscope


3. and a comb!



*Note: according to Mason's doctor he's going to play football, but since a football was not a choice, we are going with the assumption that he thought the orange ball most resembled a football

Ethan chooses...

1. A basketball!**


2. A comb!


3. and a packet of fake money!



**Note: We would like to point out that Ethan first grabbed a baseball, with his left hand - though he didn't actually take it off the tray. We mention this because Brett is hoping for a left-handed pitcher in the family who might play for the Red Sox one day...so, you know, just for the record... ;)
