The key to getting your preschooler to sleep in
I was startled awake at 3:30 this morning when Katie shoved her hand in my face and said, "it stings." Even in the dark, I could tell what the problem was: massive pruning. I ran my hand down her leg to confirm, and then we headed upstairs to change her pj's and make her bed sleepable.
I'll admit, I don't always change the sheets when the kids wet the bed. In the middle of the night, I mean. I always wash them once everyone is up and awake. In most cases, though, you can just throw a towel over the offending damp spot and everyone gets to go back to sleep.
Not last night. Last night was a two pillow, quilt, blanket, buddy, whole bed kinda night. All that exercise and the effort not to curse when I discovered I was putting a twin fitted sheet on a double bed woke me up and has left me with an alcohol-free hangover and three loads of laundry.
