K.V.
I don't remember my oldest son doing this, but my daughter and younger son do. I watched a program this morning talking about "growing pains." I always thought this was something my mom made up or an old wives tale, but evidently they are real! They occur often between the ages of 3-5 and again between 8-10. Who knew?! They said it is basically muscle aches from all the activity that kids do througout the day. The remedy was to just give them a muscle rub to ease them back to sleep.
