Our Little Bed-Wetter

I'm told that Michiel wet the bed well past his toddler years. So it's not surprising that our son often wakes up in a wet bed. For a while there he was wetting twice per night, even though we restricted evening liquids and woke him to pee when we went to bed. Thankfully, that time has passed.

Alexander recently took a stumbling step forward in the quest for bladder control. He actually got up in the middle of the night to pee. Hooray! He's even repeated the feat a few times. But the other night while Michiel and I were both working in the office, we heard him get out of bed and stumble around. We thought he was going to pee, but a few moments later he walked right by the bathroom and headed for the living room. Poor boy was so disoriented and sleepy that he couldn't find the bathroom.

Michiel helped him out and put him back to bed and then realized there were little dribbles all over the hall floor. The dribbles led into our bedroom, where we found a puddle on the floor and a streak down the door. Alexander had mistaken our room for the bathroom and peed against the door! Poor sleepy little boy!
