Incomplete deal
Livy has been waking up in the middle of the night screaming for me. At first I thought she is coming down with something since she usually sleeps through night, but last night I realized that I am just her midnight transportation to the potty.
When she turned three last month, I had to compromise and made a deal with her-
Livy: I can’ wear a pull-up.
Me: Why not?
Livy: I am three.
Me: If you don’t wear a pull up at night, you have to wake up and pee pee in the toilet. If you pee pee in bed, then you have to go back to wear pull up.
Livy: ok.
I need to have a talk with that child who repeatedly outwits me and clarify that in the process of her going potty in the middle of the night, mommy does not want to be notified.
