Today is Kelsey's 1st birthday! We are sad that we can not physically be with her but our hearts are there celebrating the miracle that she is! Kailee and I went shopping yesterday and bought a very special jewelry box and had her name engraved on it. We can't wait to give it to her. Tonight we will have a cake and make a wish for her. Kailee will be in charge of blowing out the candles! A very important job!
Kelsey was born June 30, 2008, the "Year of the Rat". The "Year of the Rat", began on February 7, 2008. Which also happened to be our 4th Wedding Anniversary.
Legend has it that the Jade Emperor invited the animals for a party. The first of 12 to arrive was the Rat, followed by the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and lastly, the Pig. All the animals were named after the 12-year cycle that governs Chinese life thereafter.
Various versions of the Rat's story are particularly revealing about his character. One version has it that, towards the end of the journey, the animals had to cross a celestial river, and the Rat asked the Ox to ferry him across. When they arrived on the other side, the Rat jumped down off the Ox's head and that's how gained first spot in the order of the Chinese zodiac.
Those born in the "Year of the Rat" are clever, ambitious, creative, hard-working, fastidious, charming and sociable, but can be a bit stingy when it comes to sharing their wealth or possessions.
Rats are compatible with Dragons (Mommy), Monkeys and Oxen, but should avoid Horses at all costs. Daddy was born the Year of the Rooster, Kailee the Year of the Dog. www.squidoo.com
