Sarah, when we did this with Miss Olivia, we talked it through for ages first. She came with me to choose additional sheets and some mattress protectors etc.
The we made a big deal out of her being "such a big girl" etc.
I explained to her how I would leave the loo light on for her all night, and that we would leave her little step for her in the right spot.
The first few times she woke, went to the loo, then came and told us, LOL! (Think 3am in the morning!)
But then the novelty wore off. And to be honest, she probably only gets up now once in a blue moon for a wee in the middle of the night........but she is VERY keen to get to the loo first thing!
GOOD LUCK!!
ETA She was a bit scared at first that she would wet the bed......but I just reassurred that if she did she just needed to come and get me & we would fix her bed up.......she only wet the bed once.......and she was more worried about wetting her Betty Boop jammies than anything else........
