Her feet are alive

A picture of Summer's foot taken a few days ago.


Since Summer was a baby I always suspected her feet had a mind of their own. From the earliest memory of Summer sleeping in bed with us, 10 months or so, I can remember having her feet find their way to me. It didn't matter which direction I would lay her, she would rearrange herself until her feet were touching me. She would usually wake up laying sideways with her feet digging into my side. This positioning made it almost impossible for me to sleep very comfortably and why I rarely let Summer sleep in my bed. Recently I had forgotten about this natural phenomenon that takes place and I let Summer sleep with me. Two hours later I was carrying her sleeping body back upstairs and putting her back into her own bed where her feet could not find me. Don't get me wrong, I love her little feet but sleeping with feet in your side is just not a good sleep. Maybe I should keep socks on her but I hate sleeping with socks and Summer hates wearing socks in general. Her feet aren't ever cold either, they just require a squishy side to dig into when she sleeps. I don't even think she is aware her feet are searching around for a warm side, I am pretty sure her feet are alive, independent from her own mind.

Here are a few pictures of her feet, these are old because they are just so cute.





Right now her little toe nails are painted a dark red color. She looks good with toe polish on. I should try to take a few pictures of that!
