We currently have three types of diapers at our house, regular Luvs, Swimmers and the Huggies Overnites. Last night I got quite the reminder of just how important those Overnites are....
Lets start this story with the fact that we got home later than usual. We were trying to just get dinner done, then Lyla needed a bath then I was taking her up to bed. Well she just didn't want to cooperate with any of my plans. After we finally got some dinner in her we went to the bathroom.
She is really hit and miss right now when it comes to peeing on the potty. Some days she wants to try, some days she wants nothing to do with it, I'm not pushing it right now. Honestly, having her potty trained isn't something I'm striving for at this moment, so when she is 100% ready, I will be too.
So I have to fight with her to get her clothes off and her earplugs in. Then she decides she wants to sit on her potty for a little while. She didn't pee and I finally put my foot down and said it was time to take a bath. We were on a tight schedule, no time for messing around with this.
Well she was acting all crazy in the bath, just total chaos. But I got her clean and started draining the water from the tub. She then stands up and pees.... So we had to have a talk about if she is in the tub and needs to pee she needs to tell me to put her on her potty. Blah blah blah... So I take her to go put her pjs on.
At this point I'm exhausted and flustered and just want to get her to bed so I can go to bed too. I throw her pjs on, take her upstairs and we read a book in our chair. She was so tired she fell asleep on my lap (which rarely happens anymore), so I pick her up and lay her down in her crib. And that's when I saw what I did...
Her diaper was sticking out of the top of her pj pants... her DAYTIME DIAPER.... SHIT!
So then I was faced with what to do.... Do I dare wake her up to change her in to a nighttime diaper? I was so tired and just wanted to take a shower and go to bed myself. I mean, she just emptied out in the bath tub, how much could she really pee during the night? And really, aren't those nighttime diapers just a money scheme anyways? Do they really make a difference??
YES, YES THEY DO! For the record the Nitetime diapers are worth every freaking penny!
Because I decided to just let her sleep.
I woke up to her crying at 4:00 this morning and I just knew. I had to go in, get her changed and cleaned up and I brought her back to bed with me. Then when I got up this morning I had to go strip her bed and do laundry....
What a great way to start a Thursday morning!
