[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like it boils down to him drinking water at night, no? It's causing him to wake up to pee, then he might  be distracted by "monsters", or then need a re-fill of water.

It may sound odd, but have you tried brushing teeth super early on in the evening? The fluoride can dry out the mouth making you want to drink water. Maybe brushing teeth earlier to get over that dry-mouth feeling will help. 
I'm guessing he's pretty hydrated throughout the day otherwise?[/quote]

Yes, now that I've written everything out and people have chimed in, I think the water and bottle are our biggest issues. He's always been a big bottle kid- he loves his bottle and our dentist said as long as it's water, it's okay so I guess I've been pretty lenient about it. 
I'll try brushing his teeth earlier, thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that fluoride can cause mouth dryness. I brush right before bed too and always wake up needing a drink too. He is pretty hydrated through the day- i always keep his thermos around. [/quote]
