It's weird. During our vacation, Katie woke up with dry pants 90% of the time. On the cruise, she woke up dry every single morning! During that time, she was wearing pull-ups, though. Just in case. We celebrated the dry mornings and Katie got excited that she was staying dry all night, just like the big girls do.
So now that we're home, Katie convinced me to let her wear underwear at night. I thought it was a no-brainer, since she's been dry a majority of the nights during the last 3 weeks. But, my goodness! Talk about a setback!. Every night that she has worn undies, she's woken up wet! What gives?! So, each morning, I wash her bedding - again and rethink our strategy for the next night.
So far, I'm limiting her liquid intake in the evening and I make sure she empties her bladder right before bed. Clearly though, that isn't enough! So last night, I did one extra thing - I got her up out of bed and had her go potty at about midnight when I was getting into bed. I had to laugh. She was completely disoriented when I picked her up. She kept her eyes closed, I sat her on the potty and she swayed back and forth. I had to hold her up so she wouldn't topple over. I whispered to her that it was time to go pee-pee and sure enough, she went. I was certain this was going to work... But no. She still woke up damp! Argh!
Okay well, I'm just going to try the same things tonight. Her last drink was at about 6:15pm and I've warned her that she gets nothing else to drink tonight. I'll get her up again to pee when I go to bed.
I think it'll work tonight. Let's see if I'm right. More to follow...
