Dry, Dry, Dry!

Whoop, whoop! No more pull-ups! Or at least no more pull-ups for Ethan. He's been potty trained since last March or April, but we've continued to put him in pull-ups at night. His pull-up is almost never dry in the morning, but really I have no idea if he was going during the night while sleeping hard, or in the morning after he woke up and was too lazy to go to the potty since he was wearing a pull-up. Plus we were too lazy to jump out of bed as soon as we heard him up and take him potty.

So anyway, waited almost a year until he had mastered going potty by himself and getting past (sometimes) not announcing to us EVERY single time he needs to go potty. Last night, we gave it a try to sleep in underwear and no pull-up. He went pee before bed, then went to sleep (well, not really). I dried Blythe's hair, put her to bed (or said goodnight and left her to read books on her own), then went to dry my hair. Ethan came in and said he had to go potty. Totally procrastinating going to sleep. I told him "then go potty and go back to bed". But of course, he can't go to bed without screaming "MOMMY!" every night, so I had to put him in bed and say goodnight again and leave while he screamed "MOMMY!" in his bed. Went back to drying my hair. He came back a few minutes later and said he had to potty again. Such a terrible liar he is. Whole process again...screaming "MOMMY!"...go back to drying my hair. Finally he was quiet.

Went downstairs to watch TV. After a little while, Braden said he heard a conversation going upstairs, so he went up to intervene. Ethan was standing in Blythe's room playing her Leapster by her bed, while she lay there with one eye barely opened, clearly annoyed Ethan was in her room. Ethan said, "Blythe asked me to come in her room". I'm telling you...terrible liar.

Oh, it was going to be a long night.

But it wasn't! Ethan slept in this morning. We thought for sure there was no way he would be dry. He had slept too hard and it had been too long. But we were so wrong! Woke up dry, then went potty. He was so proud of himself! So no more pull-ups. I'm sure we'll have accidents, but hopefully they are few and far between.
