soaked

 Back when Cal was just a wee one, I would write posts asking any of my (few) readers for advice... and you always came through for me, whether it be sleeping (or the lack thereof), eating, etc etc etc.

Well, I am back at it again.  Any advice or in sight you can give me would be fab!

Cal has been fully potty trained since March.  He's been doing great, and we are thrilled, obviously!

Here's the thing... he wears a diaper to bed, because he is a HARD sleeper and we don't think he would wake up to go pee.  He SOAKS this diaper every night.  Like, through the diaper, clothes soaked, sheets of big boy bed soaked.  And it is happening often.  Like, 5 times a week often. 

We have tried cutting him off from water after dinner.  But he plays SO hard after dinner/bath that he is really thirsty.  We limit his drinking to one sippy cup of water after dinner to bed time.  And that's it! He also goes potty every night before the bath and again before the bed. 

He is wearing an overnight diaper, and it doesn't stand a chance against him. 

Frankly, I am sick to death of changing the sheets on his bed almost daily.  The sheets are about to be threadbare because I wash them so often.  He has two sets, thankfully, so I can take one off to wash and replace them right away... (just to wash those the next day....). 

Any tips? What are we doing wrong? Should we not give him water after dinner? I get really thirsty at bed time too, so I know he wants to drink... we tried "double bagging" him last night and he was still soaked. 

Yours in urine...
