How can I help little Josie not quiver and pee when I go to pick her up off the upstairs bed? That's the only one she seems to do it on and she acts like I'm going to beat her for being on the bed. She cowers to the bed and then piddles just a little. Any ideas? Please? I need to get her over this before Bill takes her with him and I faxed in the papers for her to go with him. We're looking at him taking her anywhere between the week of Christmas and the first of February.
Michaela, are you laying on the bed with her? Try spending more time on the bed with her and letting her get herself on and off the bed. She may be frightened of you taking her off and thinking she's in trouble for being there in the first place. Maybe she just needs to know that its ok to be there. Neba actually let her share the bed? Wooo hooo!
She sleeps just fine on our beds at night, no peeing, and yes, Neba tolerates her sharing "her" bed with her at night!!LOL It's just on the spare bed that she seems to be doing this. Quite odd. No, I'm not on the bed with her because I'm on the computer when she's on the spare bed! Tomorrow I'll have to strip the spare bed and wash all of the covers and sheets. Gotta go now, Neba is telling me it's way beyond bed time Mom!! CORRECTION: Last night Josie also peed on my bed! All I did was walk into my room after letting Oreo out, and look at her and ask her "What are you doing?". It made her pee!
Take her out when you take Oreo out. Maybe she needs to go out a little more frequently. BTW Isabella "leaks" when she gets real excited. Especially when she knows she's going for a ride.
I do try to take her out often. Usually, I send the girls out together, then the boy after they come in. He likes to do zoomies and I'm afraid that he will trample her! Anyway, I'm in the process of washing my bed linens and the spare bed is next. That one is a pain because I've got presents piled up next to it. Oh well! I'll be taking pictures today of Morgan at her school concert, so I'll be gone from about 1:30 until about 2:30 or so with no phone (I'll have it with me, just on vibrate) since this time frame is when the 3rd and 4th graders sing. Gotta take both cameras with me.
