Sleepwalking, I guess.

First, a million apologies to my Oldest Son when you read this in the future. It was just too strange not to share with the world.

Last night, I put the boys to bed, and my oldest was happy because it meant that he’d be going to school the next morning. As I usually do, I went to my room (next to the boys’ room) and called TheBoy to see how his night at work was going. We talked for a bit and I was convinced that I should get some sleep. So I turned off the lights, let Zorro cuddle up to me… and dozed off.

Then I was awoken to hear my oldest talking. I got up (Zorro followed) and we investigated. There he was, standing, and peeing (while in his underwear) on the floor. Then he laid down on his bed and was completely asleep.

That’s right, my son was not just sleepwalking, but actually thought he was at the bathroom. So I did what anyone would do. Cleaned up the mess, put dry undies on my son and then called TheBoy to tell him what his son did. Then Zorro and I went back to bed.

What’s the weirdest thing that you have done, or that your kids have done in their sleep? I wasn’t a sleepwalker or talker, but I did sleep with my eyes partially open when I was really little. Which, naturally, freaked my mom out.

HA. See-sers, I love it. Drake is the only one who talks in his sleep. When I had the baby monitor up and going, I used to hear him talk about octopuses and all sorts of strange things. Apparently he dreams about telling various animals not to do things.

Apparently, I did the sleepwalking thing when I was little. The worst one happened when I was about 6---my mother found me walking back and forth along the edge of the bathtub. She was convinced that I was practising to run away and join the circus. LOL!

I love it! I never sleep-walked, but my sister did. She'd climb down the stairs on our bunk bed, then climb back up. Which sure beat when she'd roll over the guard rail and fall to the floor.

And people wonder why I'm such a light sleeper.
