Great Idea Staci-I think I'm going to use it. About the potty problem at night, I talked to my pediatrician about it because of my boy and he said that you can buy an alarm that you put on the pull up and it wakes them up or wakes you up and then you know to get up and change him. He said he did it with his boys and it takes a few weeks and then they are cured. There are two reasons: Their bladder is not developed fully or they are deep sleepers. Both my boys are deep sleepers-I could go into their room with a marching band and they would stay asleep-no joke. So when the alarm goes off he says it's a pain for the parent but worth it. The site is bedwettingstore.com I love that he laughs when Kevin plays the guitar with him-so cute. I love the things kids say. Take Care.

That kid makes me laugh. Did he tell you his "bling bling" got stuck over by our house tonight? I will fill you in on the details. Are you done washing dinner and putting it in the oven, Mr. Crab???
Oh-the things they say.

I asked Hannah the same questions and Bryan would be a tiger and I would be an elephant too. Nice what our kids think of us. Too funny!! Love you guys.

How cute are those answers? I love how kids are so honest and say it how they think.
Both my boys struggled for years staying dry at night. The alarm method works wonders! Good luck with that!
