Even though Erin's been completely potty trained during the day for a year now, she's still been in a diaper overnight and rarely wakes up dry (in fact, most mornings, her diaper is quite soaked). We haven't been worrying about it, just waiting for her to start waking up dry so we can get rid of the diaper.
After talking to our neighbor who has done this with her daughter, we decided to put Erin to bed last night without a diaper on. We fully expected to have to get up and change the sheets and clean her up. Our neighbor's experience was that it took a few nights for her daughter to wake up dry.
I woke up a little after 6 this morning and I hadn't heard from Erin all night. I was thinking that either it worked, or she had peed and it didn't wake her up.
The kids both came out at 6:15 and Erin was completely dry (as you probably guessed from the post title)! For some reason she was in a cranky mood, so she didn't share in my excitement.
After one night, it's too soon to draw any conclusions, but if she continues to stay dry overnight, it's kinda crazy that ALL we had to do was take her diaper off.
