It's An October Miracle!!

For those wondering about the bedwetting situation in our house, read on.

Last time I think we were up to Bradley making us all sick from his disgusting wetting the bed, laying in it and getting cold business.

On the school holidays my Mum came up to stay, one night we were so busy and so tired that we all forgot to put a pull up on Bradley before bed.
But by some miracle he woke up dry. Yay!!

Since that day he hasn't worn a pull up again!!

For a few weeks I still kept his long sleeve pyjamas on, so he wasn't tempted to play around with his willy and start wetting the bed again.

Last week I forgot to do the washing and he didn't have his long pj's. So I let him wear normal pj's, and again he was dry!!!

Because of all the drama we have had with toilet training and bed wetting I wasn't going to make a big deal about this. I didn't want to draw any attention to the fact he wasn't wearing a pull-up. And my blissfully unaware son had no idea he was dry AND wearing normal pyjamas...

Until this week when he came out of his room and said to me "mum, did you know I'm dry at night time now, and I'm not even wearing those pyjamas"
The look on his face told me he had no idea he had been dry for the last 5 weeks-he just kept floating along in his own little world and he "accidently" became dry.

Me on the other hand, I wasn't blissfully unaware. I was secretly screaming and shouting and celebrating on the inside. Between both Kaitlyn and Bradley I have been toilet training/night time toilet training for 4 CONSECUTIVE YEARS!!! Now I don't know about you but 4 years is a very long time to spend toilet training. There are been few highs and many, many lows over those 4 years.
It has cost us a fortune in pull-ups and washing all those cloth nappies (because my older two both had cloth nappies as babies/toddlers).

There have been tears (mostly mine) tantrums (mostly their's) and plenty of bribing (none of which
worked at all) but I can FINALLY say I have TWO COMPLETELY TOILET TRAINED CHILDREN!!!!

I can also honestly say that if Isla doesn't get this toilet training thing happening in a matter of weeks I will probably sit and scream until it's all over!! Thankfully I get a nice long break now until it's time to toilet train her.
