After it seemed that my son *finally* could control himself -- went for a
week or so without wetting the bed -- he'd start having accidents again.
Nightly.  Since 1) he now really balked at the ideas of going back to
diapers and 2) we really hated changing his sheets nightly, I hit on a
reward idea.  I made a chart -- just a big grid -- and bought some small
shiny stick-on stars and some of those puffy stickers (HeMan I think) and
explained that he got 1 star for every dry night, one sticker for a row of
stars, and a special toy for completing a star.

It worked wonderfully.  Oh, he';s had accidents since then, but any kid
will.  We have 4 charts or so on the refrigerator side...  By the way. we
decided against any black stars or "Mr.  Yuck" or anything for "wet"
nights.
