wet wakeup

middlest just wet the bed. he does that sometimes. maybe all 3-year-olds do. so i've tried to pinpoint just when he does that, thinking i might be able to save myself some laundry time if i can solve the riddle. but we can go out and eat salty pizza and he can wake five times in the night crying for water (this has happened) and still he doesn't wet the bed. he can take a bath and chug cupfuls of soapy water but wake up dry and happy. so the only thing i've noticed? he seems to wet the bed when i've personally placed him on the toilet the night before. he almost always just sits there, soundlessly if you catch my drift, and claims he just went a little bit ago. this happened last night and now i'm headed down with a big pile of soggy bedding. there's a lesson in here somewhere. maybe if i just stay out of the way, these boys can raise themselves just fine without me? maybe it's that middlest has the bladder of a gray whale -- it's big and it holds a lot, but geesh, even a whale (with all that water splashing around) has gotta go sometime. or maybe, the bed wetting mystery is just one more thing to put on my list of reasons why i deserve a trip to lake louise someday!
