If Your Kid Wakes up With a Leg Cramp

| 5 Comments

If your kid wakes up in the middle of the night with a leg cramp, he’s going to want some “blue medicine” (blue raspberry children’s Advil).

When you give your kid some blue medicine, he’ll ask for a leg rub.

When you give your kid a leg rub, he’ll ask for a back rub because “my back has a weg cwamp too.”

When you give your kid a back rub, he’ll ask for his firetruck knee-high AFO socks: both of them.

When you give him his firetruck knee-high AFO socks: both of them, he’ll want tucked back in to bed.

When you tuck him back into bed, he’ll ask his dad to sing him a song.

When his dad sings him a song, he’ll ask for you, his mom, to sing a song, but not because you fell asleep sitting up on the couch with your laptop on your legs at 7:00 pm, missing his 8:00 bedtime, or anything.

When you sing him a song, his brother will then ask for a song, because one kid being awake at 12:30 means that both kids should be awake at 12:30.

When you sing his brother a song, the original child will then request a….sword.

When he requests a sword, you’ll pack it in for the night, tell both kids to get back to sleep, and leave.
