Potty related question
So landen has been potty trained for three weeks and this past week we have had no accidents. he has decided to just go to the bathroom at home by him self during the day. I go into the kitchen so I can see what he is doing with out being in the bathroom. But the last two nights he has gotten up and gone in the middle of the night.(his room is right next to the bathroom) with out waking me up first. The first night I heard him and got up, last night I didn't. I woke up to an accident on the bathroom floor, wipes on his bed room floor like he cleaned him self up, and him in a new pair of underwear. I am very happy he is wanting to do it by him self but not ready for him to be in the bathroom at night alone. So I guess my question is at what age did you start allowing them to not wake you up at night? I know that he does very well in there during the day even sings is hand washing song and shuts off the light, but then I think about it more and he is only 2.5 there is still a good possibility of playing with something he shouldn't.
Thanks Ladies
Re: Potty related question
I still wake up with Shannon (she'll be 3 next month). But, I'm a super light sleeper and hear her every.single.time she gets up from bed. My presence keeps her quiet so that she doesn't wake up her brother (who is a light sleeper like me), or my husband. She's getting better, and I could probably let her do it all by herself at night (she rarely wakes up before 6am to go to the bathroom, and has had only 1 mini-accident requiring us to change the sheets in several months).
But, to answer your question, I think I'll be waiting at least another couple of months before I stop immediately getting up with her.
I think I'll habitually be waking up with her for years to come. It will be nice to have a night where I can go to sleep and not be awaken by either child or my husband. An 8-hour stretch of uninterrupted sleep is unheard of for me!
