In that case, I think you can lick (sorry!) this without going broke on big kid diapers.
Now that it's getting warm, you need to be mindful about getting enough plain water. It should during the day, to ease up about an hour before dinner, as not to spoil appetite. I'd make sure of avoiding salty foods at dinner, and no liquid. After dinner, maybe half a glass. No more.
For many children, it becomes a bedtime habit to increase parent attention and delay going to sleep.
