Lilypie Fourth Birthday tickers

Dana @ Hse

We did one at my in-laws place when I was pregnant and somewhat agreed to have one at our house just before I gave birth. But that didn't happened and we got caught up with everything else. So I tried to make it happen for Zylan's birthday. So basically this Dana is specially for Zylan's first birthday and also blessing of our home.

We invited 4 monks for the prayers today, but unfortunately 2 of them couldn't make it as they were stuck in heavy traffic after leaving from previous appointment.



Aunties and Uncle entertaining Zylan while the monks have their lunch. Thanks to my MIL for proving all the food for the lunch.

Looks like he is doing a good job. Wonder if he would b
e interested to be my part-time babysitter..kekeke


After lunch, we started with prayers. Zylan was naturally being very comfortable at home, crawling all around his favourite spots and over everyone. Once the prayers ended, we started with the blessings.


Zylan was first in line for the blessing as he was summoned by the monk.









He looks like he was going to take a bite off the flower the monk
was using to bless him. Even the monk couldn't resist laughing at that....


The monk was also escorted throughout the house for the house blessing ceremony.



Tying a blessed wristband onto Zylan's hand. He tugged at it for awhile and amazingly stopped after a couple of tries.




We were very amazed that he didn't kept tugging at the wristband. But after a week, I noticed the wristband became very loose and Zylan almost managed to remove it from his wrist. I quickly took it away from him.

This shows that doesn't mean you don't see him tugging at it, it will mean he doesn't tug at it!

Hopefully we can make it a point to do this every year...next year with a bit more effort, I will try my best to provide lunch :-D
