Getting Up to Go Potty

So, my youngest daughter, Lissa, recently expressed a serious desire to go to bed without a pullup. We had a sucessful test run and jumped into wearing panties at night. She has had accidents here and there and so we started including the issue in our nightly prayers, saying something about God helping her to wake up to go. One morning a couple of weeks ago we were talking about how she had wet the bed the night before.

I asked her seriously, "Lissa, why did you pee pee in your bed?"

She replied, just as seriously, "God didn't wake me up, Mom."

Laughing a little I said, "He didn't, huh?"

"No," she said, "He was sleeping!"

I was too tickled to be upset about my now bigger pile of laundry for the day and just hugged her! What a cutie!

Are there any good uses for vaseline? (um, nevermind!)

A few days ago my ds, Liam, found some petroleum jelly (vaseline) and decided to put it in his hair (along with some baby lotion and aloe vera gel). I washed it right away, but it didn't help at all. An hour later and he was still greasy. I read online that cornstarch might help. So here he is, in all his glory, with cornstarch on his head, very pleased with himself...until Mom scrubs him, once again, with shampoo. Boys!!
