I did the opposite. I’d hold my son over my head and lower him down so his belly would hit the top of my head. It cracked him up every time. I called it baby hat. Sadly he is now taller than me. And I’m 6’1" 😭
BTDT. I prefered to just lay down next to them so as not to risk scratching with my toe-nails, or worry overmuch about balace, but sometimes they are just convinced feet are funnier, and/or a parent’s face looming over them at a distance. What else are you gonna do?

I don’t do this with my kids, only other people’s kids, it really freaks out the parents, they are like “Who are you?!” And “Get away from us!”
I also choose to tickle this guy’s wife
I would if I had my own. People get mad when I do this to theirs.
Every generation in my family has done this - the giggles are hilarious!
Lol. Has it been done recently?
Not yet, but likely would. #soon
I do this with my dogs sometimes, or rather I pet or rub them around with my feet because it drives them into crazy play mode for some reason.
This and blowing raspberries into his tummy are my/his favorite. I know the time for both is finite, so I am enjoying it as much as possible.
Aww adorable. Have you done it recently?
Posting their faces online? No never that’s just plain wrong and stupid. Doing the feet thing? Yes, they find that super fun.
Lol cute. Have you done it recently?
Na they are too old now.
Don’t be so sure
