SLEEP WALKING!

Last night my son, age 9, came down the stairs to my bedroom at 11pm (we live in a three storey house). He was fast asleep. And this is how the next five minutes went:

'Are you all right?' I asked

'Yes' he replied

He shut my bedroom door behind him, looking at it as though it had really irritated him. He turned round and asked

'Can you take me to my bedroom?'

'Yes' I replied, followed by 'but we are on the wrong floor at the moment, you need to go back upstairs'

Wrong thing to say. As far as he was concerned we were on the right floor of the house!. Grabbing my hand I was dragged with force into what he thought was his bedroom..but..no it was the bathroom.

Shaking his head in annoyance he flung his arm around and said 'Could you turn the light on please'. Good to hear the good manners even in a state of sleep.

The light went on. I explained that we were in the bathroom..but no he wouldn't have it.

'It's my bedroom and I need to go to sleep now'

Then this is the funny bit....he walked along a few feet put his leg up into the air as though he was climbing into bed, and actually it was the shower!. He stood there for a minute or two, said nothing, walked back out of the shower, into my bedroom and sat on the bed.

'Would you like me to take you to your bedroom now?' I asked

'Yes please' was the reply.

We walked up the stairs, he climbed into bed, fell asleep, and that was that.

This morning I asked if he had a good nights sleep, and he said 'yes, I was very tired'.

'Do you remember standing in the shower last night?' I asked. He looked at me as though I was a complete idiot!

Isn't sleep walking fun!
