Brant's Dol Celebration
7:27 PM
Brant's first birthday was February 13th. We did our best to celebrate his birthday in the traditional Korean way. In the past the mortality rate was so high that often a child would not make it to his first birthday. Because of this a child's first birthday is a significant celebration in Korea.
At the "Dol-Jabee" table Brant chose a roll of string (meaning he will be blessed with a long life) and a musical instrument... (meaning he may be very musically talented!) :) It was fun to have good Korean food to sample thanks to the generous donation of a local Korean restaurant. It was also fun to share some of the Korean traditions with our friends and family. Brant seemed quite interested in the whole event. He was very happy the entire evening!
