Tiberias is turning 3 in a few weeks...he wears undewear all day now. He only wears diapers to sleep. I kept buying diapers because they are cheaper than pullups. But recently I did buy Ty some Western Family (cheap priced) pullups so he can feel like a big boy.
He does take a nap most days and I will usually put a pullup on him for that.
Lachoneus is now 5 and he is learning to wear underwear all night. We borrowed a wetness alarm from Jon and Emily Roundy. We've used it at night for about a week now. Luke started by really wetting the bed. Then he went to jumping out of bed when he started wetting...getting himself all wet but not his bed. Yet, he couldn't control his urine. I worried that it might remain that way.
However, he is now getting up quickly and keeping from wetting his pants! The alarm goes off from one small drop of urine on his underwear but that's not bad! I am so happy with his progress!
Now we just need to teach him to go to the bathroom on his own and not need us. And once we stop using the alarm we hope he will continue getting up to go use to restroom even though he doesn't hear an alarm telling him to get up.
The alarm sounds are funny, like toys. Like toy guns and things little boys like. I thought it was going to sound like a typical annoying alarm.
And hopefully, when Sterling leaves for training in a few weeks, Luke won't revert back to wetting the bed because he misses his dad.
I think Ty is too young to try and train to keep dry at night. In a year when he's turning 4 maybe we'll buy a wetness alarm.
