growing pains

logan and i have been so out of sync lately.  for the past two weeks he has been demanding my attention, wanting to control situations, and throwing tantrums.  not his regular self, i have been trying to give him one on one.  giving him more choices and allowing him more space and time to try new things and nothing is working.  it is so hard because he has never been like this, and ends up in his room at least once a day.  i end up carrying him kicking and screaming, because there is no other way.  he is kicking, hitting, biting, you name it, he is doing it.
last night he crawled into my bed and asked if i could kiss his foot because it was growing and hurt.  he was very restless, crying out in his sleep, then in the morning he told me that his feet and legs hurt because they were growing.  he seems tired and maybe all of this is his hormones and him growing.  i have heard of growing pains, but what can i do to help my little boy?  i think this is a phase, hope he is not miserable for too long:-(
