I've learned something today.
There is the thing that happens to a small percentage of kids between the ages of 3 and 12, but it mostly hits girls. My wife said she had it and so did all her sisters, where her legs would hurt bad enough to wake her up crying from sleep when she was a kid. Now my six year old (girl) wakes up sometimes with the same thing. I was thinking that it is a hereditory thing, but I have found no proof of that.
Here are a couple references in the event that any of you have or will have a baby girl someday.
