"Well even big kids have accidents now and again and she uses a pacifier most of times cuz I don't want her to suck her thumb, and look at the big bed she sleeps in, it only has bars on it because Alice likes to sleep with her, but when Alice goes home Madison doesn't need to sleep with bars on her bed."
Camilla then walked over to the end of the room and laid Emily on the floor, she then grabbed a baby rattle that Alice used before walking over and sitting on the opposite side of the room she then started to shake the rattle encouraging Emily to come to her.
I have worn a diaper nearly ever night for over a year now. I still tend to , at least, have a vague memory of peeing during the night. There have been a handful of nights with no memory, but even those are sometimes a bit of a question mark. I usually drink plenty of water while watching TV in the evening hours. About an hour before bed, I drink a hot tea (the supposed sleepy variety). Right before getting into bed, I pee, drink a cup of water, then diaper up. My goal is to fall asleep before I have to wet my fresh diaper. The diaper is always soaked in the morning. So I'm definitely wetting during the night. As much as I would like the "no memory of wetting" nights to be the norm, I am pleased to be where I am. As it is I cannot trust myself to go without a diaper at night. I am enjoying better sleep and wake up to a nicely wet diaper every morning. I have some travels coming up (actually a three week cruise). I will be packing one suitcase with the diapers and supplies to wear each night. So my cabin attendant will be one of the first real life, non-spouse person to be aware of my bedwetting.
Camilla was quite thoughtful about how best to proceed in this situation because Maddison is more like a 9- to 12-year-old than a 3-year-old in terms of responsibility. Emilly wanted to make the explanation easier, but her mind was wondering if she should ask Maddison to act more like a teenager around Emilly or how to demonstrate this difference.
Emilly listened but crossed her gloved hands over her chest and commented, not accepting the explanation, "because it's not fair that she wears diapers during the day, uses a pacifier, and talks as if 'power' is a big deal, and acts like a baby. She is a baby."
Camila smiled as she picked up her little girl wondering how she could explain it, "Well basically consider it like this three year old she can walk around and she can use training pants in the day but she needs diapers at night, she also has more big kids privileges while her little sister Alice is more of a toddler, can walk around but permanently needs diapers and a pacifier and some times sleeps in the crib or can sleep in the toddler bed with rails, while you are more of a little baby, who crawls around, definitely needs to be in diapers and needs to sleep in a crib and also needing a pacifier."
