An old Polish tradition on the 1st birthday is to set the baby on a carpeted floor. Round him/her should be equidistantly arranged: a book, a banknote, a rosary and a vodka glass (kieliszek). The thing the baby reaches for first is supposed to foretell its future (intellectual, business tycoon, priest/nun or drunk). Naturally it's all tongue in cheek but it does provide the family with a bit of diversion.
