I think DS may have started sleepwalking. He's 3.7. For some time he's woken and got out of bed somewhere between 10 and midnight. If we're in bed, he comes through, climbs in and is asleep before his head hits the pillow. If not, he tends to do an about turn as you come onto the landing, and trot straight back into his room without speaking.
Tonight was a bit weirder - I heard him, went up, and he was on the landing. Turned round and went back into his room but started wandering around. Eyes open but I couldn't get any sensible response from him bar the odd 'yes' or 'no'. He sat on his bed but wouldn't lie down. Eventually I asked if he wanted his potty (just started night training) and got a 'yes'. Fetched potty, helped him sit on it, he did a huge wee and was back to sleep.
I have to say I was pretty thrown by it tonight - probably just because I have no history of doing it myself so it's not familiar. DH apparently was once found as a child earnestly peeing into his parents' bedside cabinet while fast asleep
Is this what kids do when they sleepwalk? I gather from googling that it's nothing serious but any tips for how best to handle it?
