Happy Foot

When Elvis Presley was asked why he shook his leg when singing, the king of rock and roll replied that he didn’t do it on purpose for effect, rather it was just something that naturally happened when he was happy. “It just does it on its own” he suggested. Trey Davey might give the same answer one day in the future when asked why he swings his foot when he’s happy. The condition we call “Happy Foot” has been occurring since his earliest days. Like a puppy wagging his tail, Davey will swing his right leg from the knee down when he’s happy. For boys too young to talk, this is an effective way to communicate their pleasure with the current activity.
