If you google online, you would find that the rituals include rubbing chives, eating drumsticks, drooling on biscuits. The in-laws were pretty adamant that all this was just symbolic gestures and decided to simplify the whole procces. They simmered a practical black chicken soup (that would be edible) by Mummy too.
Admittedly, simple rituals don't make good photos :'( But as usual, the extra in me refuse to cave in to simplicity. I...designed a whole set of family tees for us. Because I don't have the photoshop app, I used powerpoint to draw and design from scratch. Although it doesn't look the most polished, I give myself quite a few good pats on my back for this little art project of mine.
We pretty much punned around his nickname. The Hubs was pleased yet embarrassed by the shirt. But yet sometimes he would ask if were going to wear it again. Personally, I find family tees very sweet but I find there is a lot more meaning when you design it yourself. (Note: we will keep updating with more photos every time we wear them out!)
For those who are curious, we got them custom made at Happy Todd (less than $25 each). You can either design your own or get their pre-designed pieces (which are also very cute). Every now and then, they do release new designs so you can follow them and keep a lookout. I particularly love the manga ones by the way. Hehe.
The quality of the tees are pretty decent. I like the fact that the image is quite waterproof and free from baby's drool and food accidents. During the shoot, baby was drooling non-stop and the drumstick fell on him Hahaha. From the looks of it, my baby seems to still enjoy his mother's breastmilk more and is not very interested in food.)
