May 5th is a national holiday in Korea: Children's Day!
The holiday was created in the early 1920s by children's author and storyteller Dr. Bang Chong-Hwan as a way of instilling in children a sense of national identity and pride.
Children are the future of our nation. Let’s show respect for children. Children who grow up with ridicule and contempt from others will become people who disrespect others, while children who grow up with respect from others will become people who respect others in turn. --Bang Chong-Hwan
Korean families typically celebrate Children's Day together by going on picnics or visiting museums, parks, or amusement parks. Thus, we decided we should get outside so Finley could celebrate his day!

| Unfortunately, Finley slept through the whole outing! |
Though only 11 days post-op, Victoria felt up for a short walk today, so we walked a block or two to a little outdoor cafe where many Korean families were out celebrating and enjoying the great weather.

Yay for Daddy wearing Moby with baby! ^.^ It really makes life easier in the first few months. Glad to see you enjoying babywearing and getting out of the house with a newborn. It is hard here, my husband is Korean and we have a Korean nanny so I have to fight to take my newborn out. Just keep on the lookout for nosy ajummas who will tell you the baby is cold even when he's sweating! ^.~
