100th Day, March 2, 2008

:: Baek-il is the baby's 100th day anniversary. The family has a small celebration for the baby's health and the mother's recovery from delivery. On that day, people make Korean rice cakes called Baek-seol-gi or Su-su-pat-deok, and pass them around to neighbors, believing that sharing the cakes with 100 people will lead to the baby's healthy growth. Those who receive the rice cake return the plates with threads, rice, or money on them. Threads represent a wish for a long healthy life, and rice and money mean a wish for wealth for the baby.

We did not get to deliver 100 rice cakes, but Kai did dress up in a Kimono, use his first pair of chopsticks and sample all the treats from Hina Matsuri. He also got some beautiful plum tree blossoms and presents from his daddy! Just another reason to celebrate, ne?
