Hmmm… this does indeed make me feel a little better… but now I’m also scared that 1) Keaton may be in diapers for a lot longer and 2) I might have four kids.

Here, I’ll make you feel better! We have 4 kids (yes, on purpose:), and only one is completely out of diapers/pull-ups. We dropped $90 on diapers the other night, granted we are stocked up a little, but still, $90!
That being said, I think sharaun is right, sound sleepers have it rough, my 7 yr old sleeps like the dead. He can’t do anything about it right now accept wait it out. Just one more way to learn that patience is a virtue. At least that’s what I keep telling myself!

The mid-sleep wakeup sounds like an easy thing to try, Cynthia… I think we’ll give it a whirl.

Well, seems to me her daddy was very much like this. All I remember is the pediatrician telling me (after begging him for some solution) that he had never seen a child start kindergarten in diapers. Soo — hang in there, let her be, and she’ll catch on. If she’s anyting like her daddy, she’s being stubborn, knows exactly what you want her to do and doesn’t want to do it. It’s a control thing — and she’s got conrol right now. My suggestion would be just bascially ignore it and she’ll get bored with the game when she stops getting the attention. Good luck!

have you tried waking her up at an interim period in the night, prior to bed-wetting and making her go potty? if she sleeps so soundly she probably won’t even wake up fully, but it might help her to at least have some dry night successes to build upon or train her body to wake up on it’s own…also, maybe stop forcing her to chug the gallon of koolade before bed. that’s just mean.
