Naftali's Upsherin: Part One- the haircut!

Tonight we gave Naftali his haircut- he was so excited, he couldn't wait- he kept saying, "Nu, haircut!" At one point he grabbed the haircutting machine (I gave the older boys a haircut too while we were at it!) and pretended to cut his hair- I guess he felt we were just taking too long and he'd have to take care of it himself!

Each of his siblings enjoyed taking a snip of his hair, and then Tatty and Mommy finished him off. I must say the finished product is ADORABLE! Now that Naftali's ponytail (or lack thereof!) is gone, you can actually see his precious little פנים without any hair blocking it!

Tatty sat down with Naftali and put Tzitzis on him for the first time, and then Naftali said and "tasted" the א-ב together with Tatty. He really loved licking the honey off the letters- lucky guy will get to do it again tomorrow in Cheder with the Rebbe!

Stay tuned for more pics tomorrow, IY"H, when Naftali will celebrate his "Chalakeh" with his friends in Cheder, and then with all his Minkus cousins!
