My daughter spent her first night with no pull-ups! And no accidents (so far). She just turned 4. Any tips on how to be successful for this transition? We put a potty in her room and she used it once in the night.
Master Mom Sounds to me like you are handling things perfectly. A potty in the room is a great idea!
Rewards are always a great incentive in motivating a preschool aged child. Rewards for a 4 year old are simple. Praise, hugs, and high fives are reward enough for some children. For others stamps or stickers work well. Try setting a goal with Elsa. If she goes 5 nights without an accident and earns 5 stickers you will go......get an ice cream, buy annew book or small toy, or go somewhere special. The incentive has to be something she would really enjoy.
If she helps to set the goal and pick the reward it will be a great motivator. You are well on your way to a diaper free home!

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll have her choose a reward for the five-day thing. Great idea!
