Lexi is 8 months and is potty pad trained. She has free run of the kitchen and upstairs while I'm at work. She goes upstairs as soon as I leave and since she can't go back down the stairs, she's up there til I get home. We've had this routine since she was about 4 months old. Anything that's on the floor belongs to her. I close all the bedroom doors except mine and her potty pad is in the master bath. My kids bedrooms are such a mess, if she ever got in there, I'd never find her!
She goes to bed about 9 wakes up around 7. Sometimes, I make her go in the middle of the night, but she gets so annoyed when I wake her up for that. I don't do that often, but I just think she'll be more comfortable if she doesn't hold it all night in that tiny little bladder. I don't think she agrees with that, though.
