Sleep Walking

Henry has taken to sleep walking.  This probably explains why he has been waking up SO early lately. He will come to our room painfully early and by the time all four of us are semi-comfortable, we are also all awake. We need a king sized bed.

Tonight Henry went to bed and Nate, Clara, and I came down to watch some t.v. I was just about to get Clara her p.j.s on when Henry came down.  I hear a soft "Mama" then almost a whole minute later we see him coming down the stairs. He mumbled something on his way into the family room, climbed on the couch and continued to mumble something about something. Clara was about to lose it, so I went upstairs to get Clara p.j.s.  Before I was able to come back down, Nate was carrying Henry up the stairs.  Walking into his room, we both discover several large wet spots on Henry's floor.  He mistook his clothes hamper for a toilet. This part has happened before. Last time I didn't discover the strong smell until the next morning.  His room always smells like boy, but I had to crawl around on my hands and knees before locating the stench.  I cleaned it multiple times.  Scrubbed.  Sprayed.  Scrubbed some more.  Two days later the smell was getting worse and I was beginning to question my choice of carpet cleaner.  I realized the laundry basket itself smelled horribly!  A load of laundry later and the room returned to smelling like boy.  Now I know.  Tomorrow, if the room still smells like urine, do laundry.
