    sorry to repeat what everyone else has said but I was also thinking cramps - I used to get really bad cramps in my calves and toes as a kid - does it happen when he has had a day doing lots of exercise, phys ed. or playing sport, even swimming used to do it for me....hope you get an answer soon.

    nope, yesterday was a pretty lazy day because its wet as up here atm. So didn't do much of anything at all.

    Cramps seems like the obvious thing but I really don't think thats it. Growing pains maybe but why only at night & why only the one foot?

    Could he be getting his foot stuck next to the bed & the wall or something like that?

    FJ my first thought was growing pains too...have you ever noticed it's followed by or coincides with a growth spurt? I seem to remember reading that they are more common in boys than girls.

    unless he is having growth spurts every few weeks, i'm not sure.

    FJ i would start by seeing if you can eliminate the possibility of cramps by giving him a milo sometime prior to bed to help increase magnesium
