I Love My Hanbok

As you may know from a previous post, we hang Gabe's Hanbok in his room on the wall. About 2 weeks ago, he started to pointing to it and then to himself. We figured out that he wanted to wear it. I think he was a bit confused as to why clothing was hanging on the wall. When I take it down he starts to laugh and say 'ooooo.' Then when it's time to put it back he claps and says 'bye-bye Han-ba.' He loves to put it on and then admire himself in the mirror. Who can blame him really? It's gorgeous and I bet it IS fun to wear. He only wears it for about 15 minutes at a time, and he knows that he can't eat or drink in it.

The Hanbok's resting location:

The top and vest, no pants:


Just pants:


Just the top over a collared onesie:


Just the vest over p.j.'s:

I've been waiting for these pictures. I think it is hilarious just how many times he has done this. His cheesy grin shows just how much he enjoys wearing his special clothing.

He's so cute in his hanbok! It looks like you even have a little more time to keep trying it on. :) The shots without pants are hilarious!

I LOVE the hanbok fashion show! We have two handboks, one from his FM and another from our SK friends at Samsung. I am guessing maybe I should let Colin have one to don during the day also. Hah.

I've been waiting for this! Gabe makes me laugh!!! I can just hear him in my head going 'ooooo.' What a funny kid. My favorite is the top over a collared onsie, very chic - I may have to try that with X.

I've been waiting for this post! ;) I love that Gabe wants to wear his "hanba" all the time! He looks so cute in it, and I love all the various parts at different times.

Well Gabe, you certainly opened my eyes today....who knew there were so many variations of wearing a hanbok! Great looks dude! ;)

Bekah said...

Um, this is probably one of the cutest things ever! Seriously! I love that he wants to wear it! I would too...it's gorgeous! I love the cheesy smile in that last picture. Gabe...you're too darn cute!

Grace said...

I love it on the wall! I have thought about putting P's in a shadow box and hanging it.

Janet said...

Oh...fun!
We plan to hang up D's Hanbok too (getting the idea from Sue). I just hate it being the closet. FAR too adorable.
I am hoping D still fits in his Hanbok. I want him to wear it for a special event coming up soon. I think I'd better get it out & let him see it & try it on again. Perhaps he'll want to provide a fashion show like Gabe. LOVE IT!

Beth said...

What a cutie! I love the color of his hambok and the cute display you have for it! I remember growing up I loved to dress up in my hanbok...thought I was a Korean princess or something! =)
