Night time potty training success!!


I never thought this time would come, ever! I thought Raegan would be in pull ups at night until she was 12. No joke. Some nights she went through 2 night time pull ups. She sleeps so deep that peeing would not wake her up. Her brother screaming his head off right next to her does not wake her up (knock on wood!) But after 3 rounds of foliculitis since July I decided we needed to try and get her out of pull ups and into panties at night and see if it helps at all. The foliculitis starts on her bum and then spreads down her legs. They look like zits, some pus filled, and itch and hurt. So she started her antibiotic to get rid of it and all day I was telling her that she needed to wear panties to bed and she was on board for it.

We really had to limit the amount she drinks in the evenings to help us with the process. When its bedtime she brushes her teeth, goes potty then goes to bed between 730-8pm. When Ryan and I go to bed around 10-11pm, one of us gets her out of bed and takes her to go potty then puts her back into bed. The first night we decided to try we said whenever Baylor got up we would take her to go potty. Well that back fired because he slept through the night that night! So night two Baylor woke up around 230 and Ryan took her potty and then again at 7 when he was leaving for work. She stayed dry and was so excited! And even after taking her potty at 7am she went back to bed for another hour! Granted we helped her by getting her up but it was a step in the right direction. It has been 2-3 weeks and she has only had 2 accidents which is amazing! I am so proud of her!
