Monday we took the plunge!!! 🙈
We sent Miss Kirsty to bed with no pull up on. I didn't know if she was ready but she has been so good during the daytime all summer so we said we'd try it. She had been going into the toilet on her own and totally stopped having accidents so we took a leap of faith.  And with Brian being home with his back for a few weeks at least we could share the sleepless nights.

I had everything ready. Wet pads under the sheet, spare sheets and duvets at the ready. She peed before bed and off she went!!
That night I didn't sleep a wink!! Every time I heard a peep I was listening outside her door.  I was fully expecting to be changing sheets  ( and her ) at 3am!!
Fast forward to 6am and she was dry!!! I couldn't believe it !!!
Now it's Friday morning and she has been dry every morning since!! I was afraid to  post about it incase we jinxed it but 4 nights in a row later and I actually think she's done!! She just clicked and now she has it. This. Is. Monumental.

I'm gonna just say it... well I'll scream it:

OUR DAUGHTER IS POTTY TRAINED !!!  😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

After 2 and a half years... we are just over the moon. I never thought we'd be here. To train a child that cannot speak has been one of the hardest and stressful things I've ever had to do. I've seen friends and family start and finish within 2 weeks and life never felt so unfair.  But we got there!!! I couldn't be more proud of her.
I'm in no way an expert but if anyone  is starting night training this piece of advice might help you.

Wait until they are ready. We learned this the hard way.  Last year we tried Kirsty at night for 2 weeks.  She wet the bed 2/3 times a night, every single night.  She was still having accidents during the day so I don't know what we were thinking but it definitely wasn't the right time.
This time I did my research and I read that if a child goes 2 months without an accident during the day it's a good time to try at night. I left Kirsty's pull up on all summer, even when she was going in by herself.  I waited until I knew she had the understanding. And even though she was 100% trained at daytime that pull up was still full every morning and we didn't know why. Was it a comfort thing or a habit? I thought night time wasn't on the cards for a long time yet.

Then last week she woke early one morning, around 3am and when Brian checked it was dry. She didn't go until around 7 that morning so we knew she was physically capable of holding it at night.  The next morning was the same thing, only it was 6am she woke. We realised she was waking dry and then going in the pullup so we knew it had to go.
We took a chance and it really paid off. She just amazes me!!!
Once more for the road...
