Every night, yuck. My oldest son was a terrible sleep walker - almost every night he'd go to bed in his bed and mysteriously wake up on the couch (we had to burn the couch after awhile - let's just say he never fell asleep on the toilet, but that would've been nice). <br /><br />Interesting way to make your daughter earn her keep. ;)<br />ericaerica and christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074820593371226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-84324386522689646242011-01-22T10:02:34.332-05:002011-01-22T10:02:34.332-05:00I used to sleep walk all the time when I was littl...I used to sleep walk all the time when I was little.
