Tips on potty training bedwetters?

Diego, Diego! What is up with the bedtime wetting? For some reason, he has seem to regress a little. I was and still am waking up throughout the night to take him to chi-chi. Well, even with my late night efforts, he's began going in the bed! I don't understand what's up with that! He was dry for weeks! This is the confusing part- I put him in our bed and say to him, "If you sleep in Mami and Papi's bed, you cannot chi-chi in it." He responds with a great big smile,"No chi-chi!" AND HE DOESN'T CHI-CHI! Ben thinks already the boy is manipulating me so he can sleep with us... He's a smart guy, but I just don't think he's that smart. I have cut back on late night liquids. I get up in the middle of the night and usually right before I go to bed...any other suggestions? We do use a pad in the middle of the bed, but when he does chi-chi it seems he's rolled off it or are on top of the comforter! (We do have one of those plastic sheets underneath the fitted one, also.) Open to suggestions!

Wendi,

Not a pro, but some kids just take awhile. My sister was 7 or 8 before she was really dry at night. My 11 year old still does on occasion. I used to dream that I was on the toilet and would go in my sleep! There isn't much help for that! Anyway, don't get discouraged. If you have to, use pull ups and get a full night sleep. It might be worth it. Also, sickness, stress and anxiety can also be a factor, I have suspicions.

Hope this helps,

I love all the new pictures! You all have been busy this week. I am so glad court went well too.

But on Diego... I was putting Caleb to bed and had a breakthrough. Caleb has Thomas sheets, what if Diego had some rockin' sheets he didn't want to chi chi on? Just a thought. But Judy is right, some kids just take longer.
