I just wanted to add that I was talking about the bed wetting,as far as in the day when he's playing,like most kids he probably gets so involved in what he's doing & having fun that he holds it until the very last minute which means sometimes its too late.As much as you can try & get him to pee before he goes to play even if he says he doesn't need to,run the water & he'll pee to drain his baldder.Again,he won't pee his pants forever & just smile & think he's giving you some great ammo to tell his future wife ..lol
They sell over nites that go up to 120lbs in weight(theXXL),I buy medium for my 7yr old (he's 70lbs)who has the occasional accident.I also bought a pad (almost like a hospital pad,cloth covered plastic) to put in between the sheet & the matress to protect it,that way theres not that sound of a rubber sheet on the bed.Don't stress it he will out grow it.I was a bed wetter when I was a kid till I was about 8 & then one nite I stopped & never did it again.Whatever you do don't get on him about it.He's sleeping & can't control it & if he stresses over it thinking its a hugh problem when he goes to bed,that will only make it worse for the problem to stop.I knwo how frustrating it is,but just think in a few years it will be just another childrearing memory :)
