Diapers

Oh, you think this entry would be about Peri, no? No. Nick has been potty trained since he was about 3 yrs old. He went for YEARS without peeing in the bed. An accident here and there, but nothing serious.

Until Peri was born. Suddenly we were getting up EVERY night to change his sheets. Not sure which was worse. Getting up to change sheets at 3am or having to do laundry everyday!

I tried bribery, meaness, kindness. Nothing. So after about 2 months of this (we're slow that way) I finally broke down and bought him the big boy diapers. Yep, they make them for big kids who have just this problem.

I thought he'd be embarrassed waering them. But the first night he came running into our room (moments after being tucked in) and happily exclaimed "They work!". Uh, that's not how you're supposed to use them! He was using them like the crazy astronaut who drove cross-country...you remember the story. Anyway, I had to explain you DON'T PEE in them on purpose. They're there just in case.
