Sleepwalking

Well, we've discovered that we have a sleepwalker. For me, this makes it a littler easier to forgive the child who ends up in our bed every single night. We know that she talks in her sleep, and occasionally has night terrors, but we were unaware of the sleep walking. We found Ellery sleeping at the foot of the stairs to the playroom the other night. We were alerted that she wasn't in bed, because we heard some coughing...which sounded more like choking....so Joe ran up and found her face down, sleeping on the floor. I heard him chuckling and had to find out what was so funny. When he woke her, she climbed up the steps and stumbled slowly into the playroom, looking dazed. She had turned around by the time I got up there and I could tell that she was still asleep. This also explains why Ellery navigates through the house every night without the lights on, while Molly has to turn on every light on her way when she joins us in bed.
