No more diapers for Sabrina

While Sabrina has been potty trained during the day since Febuary, she decided a few nights ago that she did not want to wear diapers at night anymore.  No pullups, no diapers, just big girl underwear (and jammies, obviously).  So okay!  I've been prepared for this; a while ago I bought two water-proof fitted sheet protectors.  So on her bed is a sheet protector, fitted sheet, sheet protector, fitted sheet.  The idea being that if she woke up in the middle of the night because she wet the bed, we could just strip off the first fitted sheet and sheet protector and she could go back to sleep.  We put her potty in her room and said if you need to use the potty here it is and that's that.  The first two nights her pants were wet but the sheets were dry. We think that she tried to use the potty when she got up but maybe had trouble with her pajamas.  However last night her sheets were wet.  Did she just wet the bed?  Did she wet the bed while she was sleeping and is such a heavy sleeper she never noticed?  I have no idea.  If this continues I think we will have to wake her up before we go to sleep and make her go to the bathroom.  But I'm really proud that she decided on her own that she wasn't going to wear diapers at night any longer.  you go,  (big) girl!

Maddie's schedule at nine months

Whew.  Been way too long.  Anyhoo, I wanted to write down Maddie's schedule at (almost) nine months.  We are in a good groove and I want to have it on record before things change and a year from now I'll have no idea.  So...

7am:  Wake up, takes a 4oz bottle
plays with her toys and/or Sabrina
8am:  4oz of baby food (some kind of fruit) with 1/2 oz of rice cereal and puffs
plays some more with her toys and/or Sabrina OR we head over to drop off Sabrina at preschool
9am:  Nap
Maddie will nap from 1-2 hours in the morning.  If she wakes up at 10, she takes a nap at 12:30,  if she wakes up at 11, she goes down at 1:30, and so on.  Let's say she woke up at 10:30
11am:  takes another 4oz bottle
Runs errands with me, goes to a baby playdate, goes to one of Sabrina's playdates if Sabrina doesn't have preschool that day
noon:  Lunch.  Usually consists of 4oz of baby food (either fruit or veggie) 1/2 oz of rice cereal and some puffs or dehydrated fruit
1pm:  Afternoon nap.  Maddie will sleep until at least 3pm, sometimes later but usually 3pm
3pm or whenever she wakes up after 3:  4oz bottle
After the bottle we head to a park or playdate or whatever it is we are doing in the afternoon

Camping at Big Basin

5pm:  Dinner.  4oz baby food (veggies) 1/2 oz rice creal, 1/2 oz of hummus and something else, like 1oz of shredded cheese, bits of chicken, other baby finger food.  This kid likes to eat!
6:15:  bathtime!!
6:30 the last 4oz bottle, a book, then bedtime.  Night night!!
