So Stinkin' Excited!!!

It's no secret here, that our lil' miss has a bed wetting problem.  I know, I know..."She's only 3" you say!  The thing is...she's been potty trained since before she was 18 months old (all on her own mind you), has had few and far between accidents during the day, and refuses to wear pull ups/diapers at night.   "She's a big girl and only babies wear diapies", after all.  There again you may say "she's only 3, make her wear the pull ups".  Well that's all fine and good until she wears them to bed, only to remove them once we leave the room and put on her beautiful princess panties!  We then wake up to a sopping wet little girl, and daily loads of bedding to wash. 

Anyways...I've tried everything I could think of; to no avail.  She doesn't get any...ANY liquid after 6:30pm...we take her to the bathroom when she goes to bed, then when we go to bed a few hours later.  We've tried reward systems, prizes, ignoring it...yadda, yadda, yadda.  There are some nights that she is wet 3 times throughout the night...those are fun nights! 

So...after changing bed after bed after bed, EVERYTHING in her room smelling like urine on a daily basis, and one frustrated momma and lil' girl...I got fed up and ordered a bed wetting alarm system! 

I am SOOOOOOO excited, and hope this darn thing does it's job.  I realize that it may take several weeks/months/good lord hopefully not years...but it's a start, and something she's as excited as I am about!
