This is my 3 years old grandson Benjamin, whose parents are Orthodox Jews. This is the day before Benjamin's first haircut, which will signify that he is not a baby. He's already transitioning and is wearing his "Thomas" underpants and tzitzis (the traditional fringed garment worn by Orthodox Jews). Once he gets his haircut he'll be wearing a yamulke (kippa, skullcap).

    Too bad he has to cut that beautiful hair - but growing up is so important! Love this shot.
