[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say that he doesn't need water,   Discuss it:  because you have water, you are having accidents at night.  Therefore, take your last 3 siips of water while we read books, then the water goes.

and get an "OK to wake clock" and set it for 6:15am.  You will then go into his room (every effin' hour at the beginning from 11-3pm) and tell him - the clock isn't green, time to go back to bed.  I love you.  See you in the morning.

Then walk out.  Yes, he'll scream.  But you will be firm.  You checked to make sure he was fine (and dry) and then that's it.  Kids and parents need to sleep at night.  Period.  end of discussion.

But don't lock him in - that's scary.  go in every time he wakes up once, tell him night night, you love him - the clock isn't green.  then leave.

Believe me, if he doesn't get all this cool stuff he will stop waking up.

BUT you gotta get rid of the water bottle.  he drinks, he pees - if I drank water all night I'd pee too![/quote]

Just ordered that clock on amazon, thanks, I think it'll be a big hit. Can't believe I didn't know about that before. I was trying to figure out some way of letting him know when it's okay to come out. Yeah, I definitely won't be locking him in. And doing less water starting tonight. Thanks again![/quote]
