night training

during family reunion emma woke up one morning with her first ever dry pull up. she had two or three in the month since then, but nothing regularly. i decided its time to try out some night training.

this week i have been waking her up before we go to bed (usually around 10 or 1030) to potty then putting her back in bed. she doesnt actually wake up, i just hold her up and she acts like a little puddle of a girl. she had one dry night. so the last two days i decided to add a second night time potty break- 2 am, and last night 4am. the 2 am morning was the first all night in panties, and she peed as soon as she woke up in the morning. last night i opted for 4 because it was after 11 when i woke her to potty the first time.

it worked out pretty perfect because she came to our room at 345 because she wanted to sleep with her daddy (aw!) so i was already awake to take her to the potty. she came in again at 5 and went again, and has stayed dry all morning! she was quite excited to be rewarded with hot chocolate at breakfast for staying dry all night long, and i am looking forward to trying again tonight! (fyi, pull ups are about 35 cents a piece. we cut our use in half because she doesnt nap anymore, and the few days she does, she stays in panties. but thats still 10$ a month on pull ups that i dont have to spend anymore!)
