Feeling better today, partly because of all your comments, partly because my new car is parked happily outside my house, nestled into the kerb like a sleeping wildebeest, sighhhh, but mainly because I started the day with the following statement from Miss M…
Miss M; ”Mummy, my nappy is like a carriage for wee.”
I am so proud.
Nb. Nappy = diaper, and yes my 4 year old still wears them at night. She’s just not ready. Her sister was the same, in fact when I attempted to night train her she stated that she liked weeing her nappy because ‘it was warm’. She was dry by 5 though so either our house got warmer or her, erm, pee got cooler.

That was too cute! Warm wee in the nappy…too funny!

That is one of the best statements by a four-year-old EVER.

Amy was still in nappies at 4. It’s just healthier not to push it I think.
Glad your feeling a bit better.

Once again, I love the way that girl’s mind works.
And so glad you’re feeling cheerier. It’s a great thing to know the dark moods can be fought off!

Kids are just so honest…and true….and pure joy. They see and say it like it is.
for some…the nappy is comforting indeed.
Glad you are feeling better.

So glad you’re feeling better. Aren’t kids wonderful?! x

Aww, so cute!

start feeding her ice cubes at bed time.
No? That won’t work?
oh well.
Kids are the best “upper” that exist. So glad things are brighter today

Goad to hear you’re feeling a little better. Don’t worry about Miss M. still wearing a nappy, some girls take longer than others.
PS. I’m still waiting for a picture of the new motor.

hmm…I rather like the image of the wildebeest parked at your kerb (curb?) And I’m dreading the day that it comes to nappies and warm pee again…hope I’ll be well out of it by then, lol!
hugs

I love you!

Well I suppose pee is warm…
Glad to read you are better. I have been lurking around for a little while but did really comment. I think your blog is great and I think Kate Moss should want to be you!

What a wonderful description! From henceforth, all Charlie’s nappies will be known as wee-carriages.

Happiness is a warm nappy.
Glad to hear you’re feeling a but more chipper.

Glad to hear that Miss M’s observances on her wee carriage have improved your situation and made you smile with pride! Go Miss M!

I have a child who, when accused of peeing within seconds of me putting on his night-time pull-up, simply grinned an angelic grin, and confessed to liking the warm feeling.
They’re so DARN EXPENSIVE, though!
Same child was, age 3, dry at night for 2 weeks, with the help of a sticker chart with a Bionicle at the end of it. He then claimed that unless he could get a Bionicle every 2 weeks, it wasn’t worth the effort, and he was going to go back into pull-ups. With the idiocy that is parenting, instead of saying “no way Jose”, we decided we didn’t want to make a big deal about it all, for the sake of the older brother (shared bedroom) who was age 7 and still not dry, so we said “OK then”, thinking we’d call his bluff and he wouldn’t really. That decision cost us – literally – another 3 years of expensive pull-ups.
Still, if that is the worst decision I make, as a parent, I guess I haven’t done too badly.

By the way, don’t bother to waste money on washable night-time pants. I bought 2 pairs (16 quid) at one point, different brands to see which worked best, and they were both hopeless. Soaking bed each time. Unless things have come on a lot since then, which was, I suppose, 4 years ago.
