My Big Girl

Tuesday June 30, 2009 7:57 am

Halle’s been telling me lately that she’s not “big and little” anymore, she’s just big. Last night, she decided she was too big for pull-ups at bedtime, so she wore just panties, like a big gir. She was dry this morning and was very excited when she told Daddy that she doesn’t wear pull-ups anymore because she’s a big girl. She’s running around the house right now screaming, “I’m a BIG GIRL!!”

I was just talking to Keri about this the other day (whether we should be trying to ween the girls from the pull-ups). And we both kind of felt like it really wasn’t important this young and the comfort of knowing they’re protected at night was a good feeling for us. But if Halle’s ready, then I guess it’s time after all. I just hope we don’t have a zillion accidents ahead of us. Unlike Annabelle who wakes up dry almost all the time, Halle really took advantage of wearing a pull-up. So it’ll be interesting to see if her will to be a big girl will really keep her dry at night, or if she’s just not ready biologically yet. Wish me luck!

    I think she’s ready. Making a BIG deal about her being dry and how it makes you happy will go a long way! Also, help her along by not giving her drinks after 8 and asking her if she needs to go before she falls asleep. It worked for you!!!!!!
