Last post on potty training

It is going to be a long post but most probably the last one about Olivias potty training.
5 days in a row we went through this:
8-9 pm
Brushing teeth ,,reading on her new bed by me( really hard to fit in for me:-))
Nursing in mommy's and daddy's bed (she is not excepting nursing in her bed )
Rinsing her mouth before going back to her bed
Singing 3 times"you are my sunshine" and goodnight kiss.

Around 4 am

Either coming our room by crying or me going her room in each case she is all wet.
Once I found her all soaked and sleeping on the carpet on her room because the bed was all wet.I guess she went down to look for a drier place to resume her sleep.
I changed her and brought her to out bed.

After 5 days we decided to put the alarm on and carry her to potty. Suddenly I made up a play and told her that "we are a team and we have a mystery" ( in her favorite animal baby dvd the team of animals are trying to solve the mystery of "why dolphins sprouting and swimming on the surface?" and she loves it). I said her that Olivia is doing great with her potty during the day.Now we as a team need to solve the mystery of keeping her dry at night.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT ?
She smiled and cried "HOW?" pretending IZZY the owl from the dvd .
I said" at night either daddy or mommy will come and take Olivia to potty and Olivia will put her pee in there.So this way we'll keep her dry as a team.She liked the idea and said YES!!

We put alarm clock at 2:30 am.I woke and opened her sleeping suit.She asked half asleep:Where are you taking me mommy" I said "to potty" .Without talking I carried her (she was putting her head on my shoulder and sleeping) to the potty .Sit in front of her ,she was still sleeping on my shoulder.Then she said hold my hands and I did.She she went in the potty. And said"I peed:-))"

I hold her and carried back to her bed dressed up .She was awake and said "goodnight mommy ,go to your bed" ( I felt as if she said this thinking about my sleep-that i know not technically possible yet -anyway I was happy:-))


In the morning I woke up earlier and went to her bed when she called me.I sit down she was about to say something and stooped at the beginning of her sentence.Then She looked at me and said" Mommy ,I will tell you something but don't laugh??"
I said" Okay tell me"
She said: I want to have meme and sleep in Mommy and daddy's bed now"
I said:"SURE!!!" ( very seriously !!!! )

Since that night I keep carrying her and she keeps sitting and going in her potty :-))

Yesterday we donated her diapers to homeless babies. They came to pick them up from home and Olivia carried the box from her room and delivered by herself. She understood the meaning of donation .After that she asked couple of times:

OLI"Mommy ,what did we do my diapers"

Me: "We donated them to other babies honey"

OLI"Yes , we donated them.Can they walk?
