Life without pull-ups (for real this time!)

Leeann is officially 100% pull-up free—even at night! Yippie! We ran out of pull-ups toward the end of last week, and we told her that she was going to start wearing big-girl panties to bed. The first night she had an accident around 11:00. I made a silly mistake and borrowed one of Logan’s pull-ups because she was so concerned that she would wet again. The second night, she wet about 2 minutes after she went to bed. I got her cleaned up and changed and sent her back to bed. About 5 minutes later she’d wet again. Arrggg. Obviously she was doing it on purpose… I think she wanted another one of Logan’s pull-ups! So we cleaned her up again and told her she was just going to keep getting big-girl panties. So she went back upstairs to go to bed, but ended up going to the bathroom every couple of minutes. About 10 times later and with some snuggle time she finally fell asleep. Then we went to the store and got her some thicker night-time panties and those seem to make her feel safer like a pull-up but still uncomfortable when wet like big-girl panties. She’s had like 6 dry nights in a row and there’s no going back! One kid down, one to go!

In other Leeann news, she talks longingly about wanting to be 4 and about getting her Cindegrella (that’s how she says it) cake. She told me on Saturday night that she wants 3 friends to come over and help her eat cake. Ashly, Amanda and Faith. It’s so awesome to daily witness the growth and comprehension in her language. She gets bigger and smarter and prettier every single day! Leeann is such a blessing. It’s a little weird to think about this way, but Leeann truly is one of my best friends. She’s so sweet and kind and loving, and she’s such a joy to be around and spend time with. She’s going to be one of those super-loyal friends. I can already tell that God’s got something wonderful planned for my little princess!
