Living With a Sleep Walker

Well, we've come into a "I hear feet and am not so scared because I know it's my five year old" phase. Olivia continues to sleep walk, though it's really only happened about 6 times. This last time, three nights ago, she came up to my room where I was huddled under a down comforter, a wool blanket, and a down throw. Did you know the midwest is under frigid conditions right now??? It is COLD!!! And being that my room is the attic, turned bedroom, and has one register, it is FREEZING. So there I was, huddled under the pile of warmth, watching American Idol, when I heard feet coming upstairs. There was Olivia. I asked her what she needed, because this is the way I know if she is sleep walking or not. She does come to me sometimes after a bad dream, or if she needs something. Anyway, she started saying something about "I talked to my mom, and I LIED." I just smiled, said I love you, and gave her a hug. I told her it was time to go to bed and asked if she could make it there ok. She smiled, said yes, and went back to bed. Sometimes she is really out of it and can't make it to bed, but then I just walk her there. I was glad this time she was ok to get there as I didn't want to freeze anymore! :) This weekend it is supposed to warm up - to the mid 20s!!!!! Woo Hoo!
