Sleep-walking

The other night I was sitting at the computer, which is at the far side of our living room, and Daddy was sitting on the couch with his own laptop computer, cord strung across the room. It was that sacred time of day, when the kids are already in bed and the house is mostly quiet. All you hear is the tap-tapping of computer keys, parents actually getting some work done... All of sudden, Daddy jumps up and starts yelling, "No! No! No!" as he's sprinting towards the living room door. He trips over the computer cord (the same one I had already tripped over once that evening), falls and bangs into the door (very loudly). Then I hear Joshua start crying. Daddy is now carrying Joshua to the bathroom rather quickly. Apparently, Joshua needed to relieve himself and in his sleep wandered down the hall and into the living room where he proceeded to pull down his pants and prepare to do the deed. Hence, the yelling, "No!" by Daddy. Thankfully, when Daddy fell on the floor and slammed into the door, it woke Joshua up so that he realized he wasn't quite to the bathroom yet. Another mess averted, but Daddy is still nursing the wounds on his foot from the harsh computer cord. The whole incident was kind of crazy. Ah, the adventures of raising little boys. At least Joshua wasn't doing it on purpose. :o)
