While we were in Denver, my mom announced on the phone that Carter woke up dry! I asked, "Are you sure?", not because I didn't believe her, but because a few times, he's woken up in the morning, taken off his wet diaper and thrown it in the trash. Then, he opened a new dry diaper, marched down the hall to my room and announced "Mom, I stayed dry all night!! See...(holding up the dry diaper)". He forgot to open the tabs and the diaper was perfectly flat, not a tough one to figure out. :-) Needless to say, I was a little suspicious.
When we got home from our trip, he surprised us and really stayed dry. So, we knew he could do it and we started putting him in underwear for bed. I promised if he could stay dry for five nights in a row, we would take him out to celebrate with a chocolate milkshake. And he's done it. The Dr. said that would probably happen in time and I guess it's time. Way to go Carter. We are so proud of you!!
Unfortunately, our house was struck with a long week of flu and we didn't make it out as promised. He was getting tired of waiting so I made him his own special milkshake at home.

YAY!!!! Way to go, Carter!!! Reading this post gives me a lot of hope for Ryan. I've always heard it's much harder for boys to stay dry overnight, and now I totally believe it! That's great that you didn't force him into it and he just became ready on his own. Great job, Carter!!!
Great job, Carter!!! The waiting can sure be tough on the parents, but when the kids are ready, they're ready.
He looks so big drinking his milkshake! He must have been very proud - what a sweet boy!
