Diaper and Formula Milk Free

One of Chloe's 5th birthday resolution is to be diaper free and stop drinking her formula milk. And she kept her promises. On her 5th birthday, she reminded me that she is supposed to be diaper free but I insisted on her wearing diaper to sleep for another night. The fact is I was not ready for her to have accident on the bed at night. So, I told her 'Today is the last day". The next day, I quickly bought a mattress protector, just in case accident happens at night. After she felt asleep, I slide the mattress protector under her. Sometime past midnight, she took off the mattress protector and throw is on the floor. And the bed was dry the next day!.
On the second day, again, I slide the mattress protector under her. When I woke up, the mattress protector is on the floor again.
On the third day, I gave up and not bother with the mattress protector. Until today, I have not have a wet bed yet. She is good....really good. The surprising thing is she is not even in a hurry to go to toilet when she wakes up in the morning.


And for milk, she had been drinking milk 3 times a day, almost like a baby. She drinks milk first thing in the morning, after she comes back from school and before she goes to sleep. I told myself this has to stop. On her 5th birthday and coincidentally her formula milk finished. She has separation anxiety with her milk. She asked a few times if I am going to buy her milk. I said no. Lucas took sympathy on her and said maybe I should buy her the last can as her 5th birthday gift. I said no. I asked Chloe to try drinking fresh milk. She took a sip and said she doesn't like it. After a week of missing her milk, she has now totally forgotten about her milk. Never asked for it again.


In fact, yesterday, I threw away all their old milk bottles. There must be at least 8 bottles. Lucas was so sentimental that he wants to keep one for memory.


Now, travelling should be lighter. I will not have to lunged diapers and milk and bottles everywhere I go. :)
