Want me to send sheets? (I'm only kinda kidding. It's a challenge I really can't quite envision coping with.)

nope. I have enough sheets. Not the willingness to deal with that as my reality. thanks though.

Pull-ups are your friend, msbelle. Why you wanna get up at 2am to wake him up? He doesn't need to be changed in the pull-up until the morning. They wick the pee away from his skin. You got enough adjustments now without trying to fix bedwetting in a week. It could take months. (Easily.)

Aren't the pullups keeping it off the sheets? Throw a towel down on top of the sheet. Also, no drinking after 7!

Um, when did Emmett turn into Legolas,

He missed a couple haircuts and then grew about two feet taller. He shows no aptitude with archery. Yet.

and why are you forcing your two children to indulge in pipe weed?

Just the baby! And if she'd quit crying we'd wean her off.

When the SO broke his arm falling in the tub some years ago, it was such a bad break that the doctor told him if he hadn't used his arm to break his fall he'd be dead.

We were doing a camp, and we hadn't had water for half the week. We finally trucked some in, and we were trying to conserve it. So I'd hurried my shower and I think I'd left a good bit of shampoo (soft water) in the shower. He slipped getting out of the tub. It was awful. But thank goodness he hadn't hit his head.

Been there. It'll improve. First thing I've learned as a parent has been that as bad as any one stage is--it eventually ends.

I'm just hoping our current, let's stick things in electrical appliances stage ends before one of us gets electrocuted. I'd volunteer to come over and do msbelle's laundry. But I'd need someone to come over and run the asylum for me.

Ooooh, Coal Miner's Daughter is on WE.

Bobby had bed wetting until he was 5 or 6. Of course he was so big at that age too. Ugh. A cleaning lady I had at the time insisted that I have him put out a little fire outside, yes, that way. She said it was a custom in Ecuador (I totally think she made it up). Anyway, we made a big game of it. He outgrew it about that time. Annabelle said it was the peeing on the fire, his doctor said his parts grew up. It was a lot of work for a while there.

My BiL had this issue until he was 5, too. There is a hormone that helps concentrate urine, so you can hold it overnight. Some kids get it later than others. They actually have a form of the stuff that they can squirt up a kid's nose now for "treatment".

My sister and her bf had a lot of luck limiting liquids after 6 pm with his 4 year old son.

I wet the bed until I was about 10. Finally, our Dr. prescribed some drug that made the problem go away for good after a few days. (They told me my bladder was too small, and that once it got stretched out I was fine.) I think my parents had tried everything else (except the peeing on fire - that I just occasionally did on my own).

Wait--so one of the twins will be named Clementine

well, if my last name were Darling, I'd so name a child that. But since it isn't and I think a child named Clementine is doomed to either (1) being made horrible fun of (2) dying or at the very least (3) getting lost, it seems like a bad name.

Back to the drawing board. I should do a name-a-Twin-and-pay-its-college tuition contest.

Kat, at some point, we're just going to tell our kids that we can only afford one college tuition and they're going to have to fight it out in a cage match.

Two kids enter, one college student leaves.
