A Strange Observation

On Sunday night, I was awoken in the middle of the night by a single, brief cry. About five minutes had passed, and I hadn't fallen back asleep yet.

I heard movement from the girls room. Bea was getting up out of her bed.

I heard footsteps. I expected those footsteps to sound closer as they approached our room.

Instead, the sound became distant as she went into the living room.

Typically, she would realize that no one was out there and come back to our bedroom.

It was silent.

She can climb up on the couch sometimes, but in the middle of the night, no way.

It was still silent. I figured I should check on her.

As I walked into the living room, I saw that she had curled up on the floor where our sectional meets, atop a pair of pants that were laying there.

I approached her and saw that her eyes were closed, but when I leaned down to her, she opened them. She didn't say anything. Normally, it would be "bah-bah?"

I picked her up and put her on the couch. She looked at me for about 5 seconds and then closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

It was the strangest thing. Why would she get up and go to the couch? Why would she get up if she didn't want something or want to be comforted by us? I can only come to one conclusion...She must have been sleepwalking. Can she at that age? Josh did it as a child so I have to wonder. I can only wait and see, I guess.
