Nighttime Happenings

Early this morning at about 4:00 Aria started crying. Mike got up to check on her. (Sometimes I just love that he is closer to the door. :) ) I couldn't quite make out what she was saying but Mike had her back to sleep in a couple of minutes so I didn't worry about it. This morning Mike asked me if I had heard what she had said. When I replied No he told me that she was crying and saying, "My bed peed!" I guess the little sippy cup of water she had sitting by her pillow had tipped over and leaked a little bit on the bed. Too funny!

A few nights ago we were awakened at about 12:30 when we heard someone walking down the stairs. Then the light came on in the family room and soon after turned off. Some more walking around in the kitchen and then Michela came up the stairs. Mike asked her what she had been doing and she seemed a bit clueless. She said she had been looking for something but couldn't remember what. The next morning I asked her what she had been doing last night. She said she remembered talking to Dad, but she didn't know she had gone downstairs and had turned on the lights.

It is funny how I have ended up with so many sleepwalkers and sleep talkers in my life. My sister used to say crazy things in her sleep and sometimes wandered around our room at night. I remember her trying to climb into bed with me and one night she brought the entire contents of our closet to the floor with a mighty crash. Both of my roommates in college talked in their sleep. Mike often talks in his sleep and sometimes his dreams are so real he is leaping out of bed ready for a fight. As a kid he would often sleep walk. All of my kids talk in their sleep and now Michela is wandering the house. I guess interesting nights will always be in my future. :)
