Dry nights

I’m a little nervous to write this and jinx us, but Lex has now gone six nights in a row without wetting the bed!  Could he possibly be done with diapers?  He has been marking D on his calendar each morning that he wakes up with a dry diaper and Alan told him that when he gets four Ds in a row he can try sleeping with no diaper.  This week that happened!  And then two dry, diaper-free nights followed!  Yesterday Alan promised Lex a trip to the playground today if he had another dry night.  This morning Lex was dry but the weather outside was most certainly not.  Somehow, in Lex’s mind, that reward trip to the playground morphed into a trip to the “ice cream store” (the village store) and then when Alan woke up the plan became lunch at Friendly’s with ice cream to follow.  I suggested a trip to the science museum afterwards to burn off the ice cream!  The boys went out and had a great time!  Eve wanted to go, but Lex decided this was his special treat (which was fine because she really needed a nap anyway).  She was sad to see them go.  Here’s  a little video.  Sorry again for the sideways.

Saying goodbye

We had fun, somewhat, at home without them.  I was pretty tired so we ended up cuddling in the big bed and taking a nap together.  Morning sickness and exhaustion both hit this week and I’ve been happily napping with the kids each day.  I love naptime!  I woke up and exercised and Eve woke up an hour later in tears because I wasn’t in bed with her anymore.  Oops!  A few cuddles later she was fine.

Anyway, back to Lex… done with diapers?  I’ll keep you posted!  (and I’m sure I’m ruining it just by writing this!)
