I will silently and politely applaud like they do in golf tournaments. Because, you know, if I say YAHOO or something like that too loudly, even typing it, she will surely wet tonight...Mine has stayed dry, too. I am not counting nights, let's just say it is multiple...and yet I can never believe it...I expect there to be pee stashed in some bin or in the corner or somewhere but my urine scavenger hunts have been uneventful. I raise my unused pullup to yours and toast...quietly of course...
Well done little one... you might want to think about putting one of those mats under her sheet that absorbs pee if she does pee...like a flat nappie/daiper. i guess you already have some back up plan.
I have a serious question for you that I have been wondering for a while. Do you think your professional experience as a therapist (I hope I am remembering that correctly) has helped you in understanding or parenting Genea?
We are making a go of it! Now I have to pry Teena's rear end out of her pull up obsession. T, thats a good question and I have been thinking about it. I am too wordy to lay it out in the comments, but basically Yes and No. Right. I already knew a lot of ways to help her, yet it took me to the end of her first week before I thought, what would I tell a parent to do here. So I think Mom-ing is more dominant and not much therapizing you can do with a 4-5 year old. But, I think I way overestimated my abilities, and mistook knowledge for experience if that makes sense. Hmm, more later.

I am so jealous. I wish Phillip would decide to quit wearing diapers. He could care less that he is the only kid in second grade wearing them.
