What are some ideas of celebrating LO's 1st bday?

A fun Chinese tradition on the first birthday is to lay out a variety of items, such as a pen, a stamp, an abacus, a flute, etc. The first item that the child grabs indicates his future career. For example, the abacus means that the child will become a successful businessman, while a pen indicates that the child will grow up to be a writer. This Chinese birthday tradition is called “drawing lots” (抓周 in Chinese, zhuā zhōu in pinyin), and originated in the Three Kingdoms period.
