Maybe She Won't Be Wearing Pull-Ups to Kindergarten After All

Ok, I did not really think she'd be wearing pull-ups to Kindergarten anyway. But, it is true that we've had potty training battles out the wazoo with Rebecca, and to this day she still wears a pull-up to bed at night. (Ben, in contrast, was out of night-time pull-ups shortly after turning 3, although I believe he did back-slide a couple of times after that briefly).

Rebecca's been on both Detrol and Ditropan in an effort to curb presumed bladder spasms that were preventing her from being able to stay fully dry, but these last few days without having to take medicine, she has been dry BOTH DAY AND NIGHT. Which has never ever happened before. Nighttime dryness- we are talking, she has NEVER EVER stayed dry all night long A SINGLE TIME. And now, TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW, she has been dry. Without medication.

Maybe, the magic of turning 5 has kicked her bladder into gear. Whatever the reason - YAY! I am even starting to think, maybe after another week or so of this, we can say goodbye to the pull-ups at night! Fingers crossed.

That is awesome! Yay Becca! Rachel, at 6.5, is still wearing pull-ups at night as she reliably is wet like once every 2 weeks. But has had no day time issues since age 3. The night is harder to come in as it is just physical and they can't control it, I'm so glad for you that you will be done w/ this!

Yay Becca! Charlie was so ridiculously easy that he not only never wore nighttime pull ups but he also never had a potty training accident with me ever. Amelia on the other hand peed all over the arm chair in the living room and that was just this morning's accident...
