I'm not ready for this!

My 4 year old son has been wearing pull ups at night since he was potty trained about 1.5 years ago. Last week I found some pull ups (actually the pampers easy ups) on Clearance at Walgreens and bought 4 packs each for $2.50-$3 each
So Guess what he has gone 6 days stright without an accident overnight. Now, its not just the fact that I stocked up on pull ups, that bothers me. Yeah there is the little "mom" part of me that is sad to my little baby growing up. But that "mom" part only last for a second and then I remember that I'm lazy and I need my sleep! I'm lazy and I dread having to wake up in the middle of night to change wet clothes and sheets and then get my toddler to go back to sleep
Of course that is also the selfish part of me. Should I continue to have wear pull ups just because I'm being lazy? But how do I know he's ready? Before this he had an accident EVERY night! It's not like he went from every 3 nights to every other night to dry 6 nights in a row. He went from wet every night to dry every night. I'm not ready for this! But it looks like I'll be selling some pull ups on ebay soon
So here's the lesson for today, kids. I'm sure almost everyone already knows this "mom" rule but I'm going to repeat is anyway. You should never stock on something that your kids need or love because the minute you do, they will suddenly hate it or outgrow it :shrug7: (Yup, that will be included in future additions of the mom handbook given out in hospitals when the baby is born.)
