When he was younger, Joe had night terrors. Those were scary. Now that he is older, he has progressed . . . to sleepwalking.
Sleepwalking isn't scary at all. It's hilarious. Here are some of the things he's done recently.
One night we heard him upstairs walking around so Cort went up to check on him. Cort: "Are you okay Joe?" Joe: "I need Daddy." Cort: "OK." Joe: "No, I need Daddy." Cort: "I'm right here bud." Joe: NO! I said DADDY." Cort: "Joe, I am Daddy." Joe: "No, I want Daddy, not you." Cort: "Um, OK. Hey, do you want to go back to bed?" Joe: "OK."
Another night, he came walking down the stairs. We asked him if he needed something. He said yes, he needed to wash his hands. And with that, he walked over to the kitchen sink, washed his hands, went back up the stairs, and got back in bed.
And most recently, Cort went upstairs again when he heard Joe walking around. He found him in the master closet, where he was getting a pair of Cort's socks from his sock drawer. Joe took Cort's socks, went back into his room, and put the socks into the dirty clothes hamper in his (Joe's) closet. Then he got back in bed and went straight to sleep.

He never has any idea in the morning that he did these things. (Nor does Charlie, who sleeps through it all even though they share a room and Joe sometimes even turns the light on.) But it does make for some laughs over breakfast.
