When she's cranky (she's two, so this is a real judgement call), I check her. I do the same with the Bug. I hate that fear that's always there in the back of my head.

She had a bladder made of steel.<BR/><BR/>Then she started wetting the bed. I felt absolutely SICK about it. I would test her - and she would freak right out (at least Evan was good about it) and would yell "I DON'T WANT DIABETES!!!".<BR/><BR/>I Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174978790549584487noreply@blogger.com
