Tips to Help Your Child #ConquerBedWetting

Each year our school hosts a uniform drive.  Parents are encouraged to donate worn uniforms to our children's closet.  The closet holds children's clothing in various sizes and there is roughly 1 complete outfit for each student from Pre-K to 5th grade.  When kids are in daycare and preschool, parents are often asked to provide a change of clothes.  However, when kids begin elementary school many times they come to school with the clothes they have on and if they have an accident, parents rush from their job to the school to drop off a change of clothes.  Our Children's Closet has helped remedy this problem.

By providing polo shirts, blouses, skirts, skorts, pants, shoes, socks, undies and more.   Why undies and more you ask?  Lots of kids have *ahem* accidents at school.  These accidents may be signs of enuresis, more commonly known as bedwetting.  

Many children experience incidents of bedwetting while being potty trained.  However, bedwetting in older, school-aged children can be embarrassing to the child as they may feel they're the only one with the condition.   Trust me, I know.  I had a child who suffered with enuresis and we tried everything from plastic sheets to waking our kid up throughout the night to relieve himself.  Our pediatrician was instrumental in helping us help our kid and understand enuresis is quite common. 

Did you know...
  1. 7 out of 10 of kids still wet the bed at age 7
  2. 15% still wet the bed at age 5
  3. 5% of children between ages 10 - 15 may suffer from occasional bouts of enuresis
Here are a few tips to help your child conquer bedwetting:

  • Talk to your child's pediatrician
  • Limit fluids at bedtime
  • Make sure your child empties bladder before going to bed
  • Use absorbent training pants like Pampers UnderJams


Why Pampers UnderJams for night wear leakage protection?  Simply put Pampers UnderJams features a NightLock ultra-absorbent core, ComfortWear quiet, cloth-like materials for privacy and a low waist so only your child knows they are wearing them!

Life is a Beach Giveaway Hop

Spring is in full swing.  The birds are singin'.  The pollen is falling and temps are FINALLY warming up.  So what better time time to start planning our Summer getaways. This year - as always - we are beach bound.  It's one of our fave places to visit given we only get to the beach once or twice a year.   Last year's visit to Cozumel was one for the record books. We stopped by this little restaurant and dined on grilled shrimp in a cabana right on the beach.   'Ohana also has a line of tequilas in flavors I had never seen before.  Tropical flavors such as coconut, mango and pina colada.  Hubby and I tried the 'Ohana peanut butter tequila.  The owner said folks either love it or hate it... we LOVED it!!! As I was sipping all I could think of was how good this peanut butter tequila would taste as a baste on my tequila wings.  It would be like a tequila satay wings type dish. * * * G I V E A W A Y * * * One lucky Three ...

Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip.

The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima...
