Max in his Korean first birthday suit

 Max's birthday is not until Christmas, but he is advanced for his age, so he is just getting prepared.   For a first birthday, a child is dressed in traditional Korean clothes. A boy will wear the hood that was the custom for unmarried young men, while girls wear make-up. A key part of the celebration activities is the toljabee ceremony where the child is seated before a table on which various foods (rice, rice cakes, jujube, etc.) and objects (Nikon, stethoscope, calligraphy set, pencil, knife, golf club, book, money, thread, needle, scissors, race car keys, ruler or bow and arrow) have been placed. He is then encouraged to pick one or two of these. According to tradition, the first or second choice foretells the infant's future.
