Explanation

One day, my precious son who was 5 at the time (now 8) and too tired to stand and get dressed for school collapsed repeatedly on the carpet claiming that he was indeed simply unable to stand... I asked him what was his problem and he answered "I have pudding legs." I must have read every parenting and pediatricians advice guide when my oldest daughter was born and yet this horrible, crippling, morning schedule ravaging disease had never before come to my attention. Aparently, it is highly contagious because my other two children have recurring bouts. Not so much with my 10 year old daughter these days, but my kindergarten aged daughter is particularly susceptible to this merciless morning time ailment.
