Chinese Tradition!

Being that Liam is a big melting pot of different races, it would only come natural that he would be exposed to a lot of different cultural traditions and experiences. From Kobe's side Liam gets Cambodian, Chinese, & Vietnamese. From my side, he gets Mexican, Spanish, German, & French (mostly the first two though). Saturday, we went to a family event for Kobe's cousin's birthday. The first thing that happened was the traditional Chinese blessing of "good luck" for Liam. It wasn't a ceremony or anything. It was very informal, but cool to me since I had never experienced or witnessed it. What they did was tie a red string around Liam's wrist with money hanging from the string. Traditionally this happens after the first month, but since we wouldn't be having another family get-together until probably Thanksgiving, they decided to do it then. Also, usually coins are used, but Mr. Liam got a rolled up bill of money. haha
