Stokes - nighttime update

Stokes was having challenges with staying dry all night. Every kid is different and while William has been wearing underwear to bed for quite a while, Stokes just wasn't quite ready. We had a rule: if he could keep his pull-ups totally dry for two nights in a row, he could wear underwear. We've been preaching this for a long time and he's had plenty of nights where he's begged to wear underwear and whined and cried about it, but we stuck to our guns. Well, wouldn't you know...the time eventually came! He had dry pull-ups for two nights in a row and got to wear underwear the following night to bed. We put a pad down in his bed, just in case, make him pee right before bedtime and hoped for the best. Spoiler alert: it was great news! He made it through that first night dry!!! We were so proud! Check out these celebratory pictures we took that morning!

King of the dry nighttime pants!

Woo hooo!

We let him decide what we would make for breakfast and he chose biscuits, grits and blueberries. You got it, Stokie!

Breakfast of choice

Such a silly boy!

This was a huge accomplishment! He's had a few setbacks since then. We've been washing sheets and pjs quite a bit and we're bouncing back and forth between pull-ups and underwear still, but overall Stokes is making progress! It won't be long now that he's totally pull-up free. Proud mama moments abound.
