Outside of the first winter colds being passed around our house, we have had a couple BIG things to celebrate this week:
1. Logan has learned to tie his shoes! We have been practicing a lot and it finally clicked! The only person happier than us will be Logan's friend Zach who has become the designated first grade shoe tier in Logan's class. Logan still wears his v
elcro shoes to school, but maybe next week we will send him with his "big boy shoes."
2. Miracles are happening in our house! Long story made short. We have been struggling getting Logan to be dry through the night for the past several months. We have exhausted everything: limiting fluids past 5pm, waking him up at 1AM to go...nothing worked. He was still wet every morning. The boy sleeps so hard you can
vacuum upstairs and he will not wake up. Finally, after calling the doctor and not knowing what else to try, we ordered the "
Maylam Bedwetting Alarm." We read many online reviews and learned it had about a 70% success rate - but it takes 6-12 weeks of "training." We figured we should at least try - what else do we have $175 to spend on. Logan was very apprehensive when he found out we ordered it, but as we waited for it in the mail he got more and more excited for his "friend" to arrive. In short, the first 7 days the alarm went off at 3am every morning....and I need to mention this alarm is as loud as a fire alarm. Even Logan shoots straight up and out of bed. Well...the past 4 nights he has been dry! AMAZING! He knows if he makes it 5 nights he gets a special day at "triple play sports" - his favorite place in the world. We will keep you posted.
