Before the girls slept, I told Nadya to go the toilet on her own if she needed to pee in the middle of the night. Also told her that she need not fuss or cry if she needed to pee. Just go pee and then go back to sleep. Been telling her these since awhile back....
My intention is to have her be independent and to overcome her fear of the dark....and of course to minimise sleep interruption for me. Ok, the latter is my main goal lol....
She did very well last night...I heard her wake and go to the washroom herself. Was also glad that she did not fuss or what.
I thought I could just drift back to sleep when she came over after she'd peed.
"Mama!" She whispered and tapped my arm. "Mama!"
"Mama! I woke up and went to pee by myself!!" She said proudly.
"Ok, good job darling. Mama is proud of you. Now go back to sleep...."
So in the end I still got woken up........
*facepalm*
But nevermind.....Reminder to self. Every little step forward is still progress. :)
