Stella has a toddler bed which she calls her "Micko" bed because it has Mickey Mouse bedding on it that she picked out herself. Ever since she was daytime potty trained, we have been letting her sleep in her Micko bed at nap time while she wears a pull up diaper.
So while Mama and Dada were away, Ommy put Stella in her Micko bed for a nap as usual and on the first day, Stella went potty (#2) during the middle of her nap successfully. This was the first time she has ever gotten up in the middle of the nap to go potty. So for the remainder of the time, Ommy did away with diapers during nap time and let her sleep in her underwear and she remained dry each time. At preschool, Stella does not wear a diaper at all and has been staying dry during her nap time for about a month or so now.
Ommy also let Stella sleep in her Micko bed during the nighttime as well. The first night Stella slept in her Micko bed, she got up in the middle of the night to go potty successfully, but after she went potty, she couldn't put her diaper back on because she was not wearing a pull up diaper. Ommy found Stella sitting in her rocking chair in her room with the dry diaper in her hands and she asked Ommy to "help her put her diaper back on". Ommy obliged and Stella went back to sleep in her Micko bed. Her diaper was dry when she awoke in the morning. So the following two nights, Ommy put Stella in a pull up diaper at nighttime so this way she could pull the diaper on and off if she had to go potty in the middle of the night. Stella's diaper has been dry each morning ever since then!!!! This is a huge accomplishment in our minds and we are so proud of her. The final step will be to do away with the pull up diapers at nighttime.
Mama and Dada were gone for only 2.5 days and in that short amount of time, our children grew up in leaps and bounds. It is bittersweet...in a blink of an eye, Stella and Des will be all grown up!

Wow! Go Stella and Desmond! It's so great for us to look at yours and the Zara's blogs to see what is in store for us (with Stella and Griffin) - and to remember Kadyn's accomplishments as Desmond goes through them.
