4 yr old smelling feet & getting hard on??

Okay.. my 4 year old son has recently been acting different. He will sneak his way into being near my feet, and smells them. Ive caught him and asked what he was doing and he gets super embarrassed and wont answer. Well tonight I caught him doing it and tried to ask him bout it and he said " I just want to smell your feet but you can't watch me"... well 20 mins later he was doing it again and I asked him to stand up and he had a hard on.. I'm kind of freaked out about it.. why is my 4 year old doing this?!?! And is it something I should be worried about? Please help. I hate feeling freaked out by my own son. :(

I child can not understand sexuality at that age.

Funny story here my daughter used to do the same thing. Her feet stank and she would always do it and I would ask her why and she didn't have a response.

Best thing is to ignore it, its just something he is doing that isn't to worry about. Kids do some weird stuff LOL

   A four year old is not going to get sexually aroused by anything.  He had a hard on because he probably had to go to the bathroom.  
   If this bothers you, then don't let him smell your feet.  Although, I am curious as to what the attraction is for him.  I would think that it must be something that you have used to make them smell nice?
