Becca goes tomorrow to Ms Meehan's class for a day of assessments that will be used to determine classroom placements. (The goal being for each class to be as heterogenous as possible). We will be notified of her classroom assignment on Thursday afternoon, and her first day with her regular teacher / classmates will be Friday. The rest of the week, she is home with me. And, since I am trying to work / catch up from being on vacation last week, this is not the greatest thing. Today we took a lunch break at Panera, pictured below. Also pictured below is her new "pee pee watch", as we call it. I painstakingly (very painstakingly) set up 6 alarms, at two hour intervals from 6:30 a.m to 6:30 p.m. The watch vibrates for 20 seconds, and so far Rebecca has been very good about stopping whatever she is doing and heading to the bathroom when the alarm goes off. Today she stayed dry all day! Hoping that once the novelty wears off she will still pay attention to it! And also hoping that her frequent bathroom trips are not a problem at school ;)

Yay that's a pretty stylish pee pee watch :-)
Keep us updated on the watch. I deal with the same issues with my daughter, and think it might be worth a try.
Question: What is your take on protection? I see a lot of conflicting opinions. Some people say it will make the complacent, others say it won't. Others say it's necessary for both you and your child's sanity.
thanks for the comment. Rebecca wears a pull-up at night (not ready to tackle the nighttime issues yet) but regular underwear during the day. As far as day-time protection goes, I think probably it depends on the child/situation. Right now Rebecca is not usually bothered at all when she gets wet (which is part of the problem). If I thought it was upsetting her and that her issues weren't behavioral, we'd probably go in that direction.
