Leith is in a phase where he avoids allowing anyone to hug or, especially, to kiss him. We are all suffering from his selfish refusal to allow affection, and my Dad was no exception during out visit. He resorted to trying to lure Leith into contact by asking him to demonstrate how tightly he could squeeze his hand and other such ploys. In these photos, Dad is capitalizing on Leith's interest in maps to facilitate a little interaction. What a little pill Leith is- I hope he grows out of this before he is too big to be cuddly.
