whatever happened to

I was just reminiscing the other day and need a few answers to a few questions. When my son was little I used to love his little soft feet. They were so smooth and sweet. My daughter came along and hers were just as wonderful. My husband used to act like I was crazy when I would cuddle them when they were babies and smell their feet and their little soft heads and it made me so happy. I could sit for hours and smell those cute little feet. Now at 18 my sons feet are large, hairy and not the least bit cute. My daughters are still cute, but definately not cuddly. What happened?????????
