Why you ask?

Last night son 2 - aged 3.5 - slept without a nappy and kept the bed dry. First time ever.

He normally manages to fill a nappy with so much wee that it leaks. But last night he said he didn't want to wear a nappy. And he was fairly adamant about it.

I was willing to give it a go. He emptied his bladder before bed and I managed to put him on the loo at 10pm (on the few occasions I've tried this before, all of hell's fury has been unleashed by the small boy). 

I put him back into bed, crossed my fingers (and his legs) and this morning he woke up DRY!!

Ironically I bought a new pack of pull up nappies yesterday, cursing under my breath that I was still buying sodding nappies, five years on (taking both boys into account).

Now it seems that our nappy days might be over. Small miracles.

Now THAT is worth of a celebration.

It would probably not have happened if you had not bought the nappies - you tempted fate! Hope it all continues to go well.

Thanks for posting this Susanna. And - he's still keeping dry at night (bar 2 accidents) but he seems to have reverted to peeing in his pants during the day again. Sigh.
