Isaac received his baby bracelet from Nick's family recently. Most of you know the story of these bracelets but if you don't...here it is. These come from St. Croix, where everyone wears these. In Nick's family all the women (and men who wear jewelry) have these. Nick gave me mine when we were dating as an intiation into the family. Nick's grandmother got Vivi her 1st bracelet (just for the girls). She's now outgrown her's but hopefully we'll get a replacement soon. We decided to go ahead and get one for Isaac. The tradition on the island is that if your "u" is facing out you are available and if in you are spoken for. We decided to turn our kids in and that when they thought they were ready to date we'd have a conversation about that and what it means and we would turn it out.
