Pee

As I am always happy to report, Caleb sleeps all the way through the night (sometimes stirring once or twice, but back to sleep quickly), and has done so since the end of May.

That is huge. However, as with most things in life, the bitter and the sweet mix with one another. One of the side effects of Caleb sleeping through the night is that his diaper is F-U-L-L of pee when he gets up in the morning. It's understandable...he has a 7 oz bottle around 9pm and doesn't have his diaper changed until about 11-12 hours later. Not a big deal for the most part. It's kind of fun to take the diaper and drop it on the floor to a reassuring "THUD" each morning. I feel like we're really getting a good value when the diaper is filled almost to overflowing.

The problem comes in when it overflows. This happens about 1 out of every 2 or 3 mornings, meaning that Caleb's pajamas are a little wet. The good news is that he doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all, doesn't seem to mind it. I like to think my child is growing up to be a real man's man, not whining and moaning about every trivial inconvenience, or something as trivial as being soaked in your own waste (just like Billy Madison said, "it's cool to pee your pants!")



Anyway, I'm ready for suggestions, otherwise it'll be Mr. Pee Pants every morning for the foreseeable future.
