Pulling my leg

Will wakes up in the middle of the night every now and then to tell me that his legs hurt.

I remember growing pains well. Scott does too. We figure given Will's size, he probably gets some dandies.

Anyway, Will woke up about 5 a.m. today with a growing pain in his left leg. As I was putting a heated wrap on it, I tried to put a positive spin on the pain.

"Do you know what this means, Will?" I asked, rubbing his sore left leg. "It means that you're getting bigger again. You're going to be so big and tall."

"I know, I know, Mommy," he said. Then, pointing to his right leg, he says, "And if this leg hurt, it would mean I was getting smaller."
