My 2 1/3 year old has been day time trained for six months, but still has night time accidents, and I got tired of washing sheets, so tried to talk her back into the diaper at bedtime. No go. Luckily I hit upon a solution that preserves bedtime peacefulness and dry sheets, too: When I put her to bed, no diaper. When *I* go to bed, I slip one on her. She seldom wakes, and if she does I give her the option of going potty or wearing the diaper. She's usually not awake enough to care, so I just diaper her. When she wakes up, she takes the diaper off and, if it's dry, she congratulates her belly (who gets both blame and credit for nighttime control) and goes to pee. If it's wet, no big deal, just a lecture (by her) to her belly about growing up soon. Pretty neat. When she's gone a week with no accident, I'll make it training pants instead.

I just always take my 3 year old to the toilet when I go to bed at night. She doesn't have any trouble going right back to sleep, and hasn't wet her bed in months. -- Ed Sachs AT&T Bell Laboratories Naperville, IL ihnp4!ihuxl!essachs
