~Feet~

To this day, I cannot understand this odd obsession that my wonderful child had for almost a year.
Feet.
Starting from about 8 months, Zusha would go absolutely nuts when he saw a foot. He loves feet. I mean really! He has "tenderness attacks." He scrunches up his tiny nose, squints his eyes, furrows his eyebrows and curls out his lips. His face gets such a loving look, and he pats the foot gently, squeezes it, hugs it. Depending on the age, he would either squeal or say loving things to the foot. If I'm sitting and he notices my feet, he jumps on them, hugging and kissing. If he's crying all I have to do is show him my feet and he is calm. Once he was busy playing and I put my feet up on a chair to relax. He was there in an instant! He loves anything that has to do with feet: shoes, socks, slippers. I once showed him that I can wiggle my feet up and down and now he always demands that! He wiggles his own to show me what he wants.

This cute quirk lasted until he was about a year and a half.
