It was another 5:00 am morning wake-up for me. It wasn't my internal clock this time (that was yesterday), it was the sound of Billy crying because his feet hurt. Growing pains that's what hubby calls them. Billy and I were already up last night several times, with me rubbing his feet to make them feel better. I even tried the tying a loose sock/towel over the ankles technique (perfected by Meemaw [HubbyMom] on Hubby's knees and foot when he had the growing pains when he was a kid).
Nothing worked.
Until I remembered my Mom telling me that my brother had growing pains too when he was little and soaking the achy feet in warm water until it cooled help lessen the pain. I made Billy come down from his bed and heated up some water. He sat in the sofa and when the water was ready, poured it in a basin and let him soak it while I brewed myself some decaf coffee.
Five minutes later... this happened -> It worked. Moms really do know what's best.
So when the water cooled I made Billy climb back into bed to get more sleep. It was still 5:30 am. I am still up with my big mug of decaf coffee.
Now if I can only go back to doing this.
