Can I get a little help!




Kali crashed on the couch at 7:00 pm tonight exhausted from the day with out taking her usually afternoon nap. Around 9:00 pm I decide I should probably move her into her bed and pray that she is out for the night. At this point I am now wrestling in my mind with the idea of whether or not I should attempt to put on her diaper, knowing that in the past it has caused her to freak out and become fully awake, adrenaline pumping, which means that putting her back to bed could be a few hours away. I decide to try, seeing how the last few nights have not been dry ones, as I lay her on her freshly laundered sheets and attempt to put on her diaper, I feel a warm, wet sensation on my leg. I couldn't help but laugh, the irony of it all.

WHAT DO I DO???

So here it is, Kali is potty trained, however, during her naps and nights she is so random as to whether she stays dry or not. This past week she went four straight naps, and nights not wetting at all. I have paid attention to how much liquid she intakes and that doesn't seem to have any affect on whether she wets. On day, she didn't drink hardly anything, however she wet for nap and night time. The next day she drank so much I thought she was storing up for the winter. DRY, both nap and night time? We use to have her wear pull-ups because that was a big deal to her, then she prefered Krew's diapers, which, YES, she does fit into, a size 3 diaper:) Now, it is a fight to get her to put on a diaper or pull-up at all because she is a big girl and all she wants to wear is underwear. I would like that too. I am just tired of cleaning her sheets 3 times a week. I did get her one of those wet sheet things to put under her but she moves so much she always wets off of it. I guess the next step is to buy a fitted wet sheet and have her just sleep on top of that, but I would just like to know what to do to stop it all together?

ANY SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP!!

These two pictures make me laugh, can you tell they are siblings? Kali and Krew both sleep so crazy, we always find them in those most awkward, weird positions.

I'm having the same struggle with Brylie. The thing that frustrates me the most is that she used to be able to wake up at night and hop back into bed... I'm sick of washing sheets (Some nights she even wets through her pull up... That's kinda crazy!)

I love those pictures!!! :) They are TOTALLY related!

those pics are hilarious! no advice, though. I'm still trying to potty train Addi (admittedly I'm not very consistent though). Some days she'll got all day without a single accident, other days we have 3 before 10am. And like you, it seems to have nothing to do with how much she is drinking.

crazy unpredictable kids.

They say that eventually the kids will just grow out of it. Seth was nap time and nighttime potty trained before we moved. After the move, yep ... needs a pull-up for naps sometimes and nighttimes frequently. Elijah still also has the nighttime potty training problem. Not fun. I have been trying to wake them up around 11pm before I go to bed, but sometimes they have already gone. Good luck and let me know if you come up with a solution.
