It has been 1 month since Grace has worn any form of nappy at any time of day. She has been doing amazingly well – sleeping through without any accidents, and we only had occasional accidents during the day. Until two nights ago that is….

For the last two nights Grace has wet her bed and not woken up to let us know. After having had this long problem free period I find it quite strange for this to happen, but I keep remembering a discussion I heard on the radio a while ago. They were discussing bed wetting (from toddlers up to teenagers) and one particular thing stood out. One of the ladies said that most bed wetting (a very high percentage, something in the range of 85% if I recall correctly) was due to physiological reasons, i.e. the bladder and muscles are still developing. So I will just hold on to that for now and hope the development comes quickly. For now we are just going to make sure she does not drink too close to bed time and that she has definitely made a wee before bed time.

There was also another surprising thing today – a great escape. We have changed things around a bit with Grace’s day sleep and we are still in the process of getting her to go to sleep quickly and easily during the day. After a while of restlessness things seem to go quiet and I think she has finally settled for her sleep. Then a little moan after about 10 minutes and quiet again. Phew, seems like she has now gone to sleep. Five minutes later she is calling and I go to check on her.

There she is, sitting up in bed, out of her sleep sack and out of her panties. Clearly the “quiet” time was spent figuring out how to unzip the sleep sack…..
