Vicken's Agra Hadeeg

Yes, at 13 months, Vicken finally cut his very first tooth!

The agra hadeeg celebrates the appearance of the baby's first tooth. The baby is propped up on a table or the floor and has a number of objects placed within his reach. The first object the baby selects predicts his future occupation. Before the child makes the selection, his head is covered using a veil or a scarf, onto which some hadeeg (a wheat dessert) is sprinkled to signify a wish for fruitfulness.

Vicken picked a tube of neosporin signifying that his future occupation will be a doctor! Ishala!
