Here is Mason on his 1st birthday wearing a Chinese outfit and selecting from 12 items per Chinese tradition - first object he touches symbolizes his future inclination. Grandpa Simon looked up the 12 objects online, I don't know what they all mean: book, pen, abacus/calculator, knife, money, stamp, ruler, dirty, celery, meat, bow, onion. We all thought he would get in the room and start grabbing everything, but he took his time and pondered for a while before picking up the knife (Swiss Army knife - we thought was safer). Grandpa says that means he will excel in sports.
The items:
