We ended up putting a hold on the potty training. Kelby has zero interest in it now. She has started complaining about having a dirty diaper on after going potty. So, I am hoping this will mean we can start trying again soon.

Since December my daughter has been progressing. It is easier for her to go to the bathroom. When she wakes up I put her directly on the potty and she goes within a few minutes. I have caught her a few times pointing to her diaper and saying “pee pee” so I pull out the potty seat and she goes. It’s fantastic that she can tell me in her own little way that she has to go. I am looking forward to her doing that more often.

My little 3 year old daughter is a perfectionist. She won’t sit on the potty because she says she can’t do it yet. We’re only giving her positive feedback for trying, but she’s not buying it. It’s hard to give her successes because she only goes a couple times a day and there is no “schedule” to it. When she poops we know when it’s coming but she won’t even let us talk to her during it much less put her on a potty. She’s so smart, but just prefers diapers she tells us! We’ve laid off for a long time not wanting to rush her, but are going to have to start a slow approach again this new year!

This is the eighth full day of potty training. My daughter did excellent! Everyday when she wakes up she goes pee in the potty. At first she told me she went to the bathroom but towards the end of the week here she doesn’t let me know she has went but I can hear or see (after she goes). Also later on she poops in her diaper then she tells me that she pooped. I change it at once. Since she has mastered peeing in the morning, I feel that she is ready for me to put the potty out for her about 1 and a half or 2 hours after she goes in the morning starting tomorrow. I will post her update in about a week.

My 2 older kids are off at their Grandmothers for the holiday while I am here with my youngest daughter. I am making an effort of potty training her as she is a little late in training. My other two were easier and earlier. For the next few days, week, month, whatever it will take I will start out with her waking up to go to the bathroom. I’m sure this will go on for the next 6 months as it did with my 2 older but it will be all worth it in the end. I will post updates if anything is different or changes.

I know my daughter is young and won’t actually be 2 until April but we decided to try our luck with potty training. She has been running around telling everyone about the poop in her diaper whenever she does go or even has a little bit of gas so I imagine its alright.
We went to the only store in town and let her pick out her own potty chair. Of course she was totally excited by the solid pink chair just for the color-forget those silly singing white ones!
We brought the chair home and set it up in the bathroom right across from the “big potty” She promptly told me she had poop and sat on it. I helped her get out of the diaper. After she went, her face wrinkled up and she said ewwwww. That didn’t make me feel the greatest because she doesn’t like to do or be around things she deems gross.
I continue to help her with the potty and bring her with me whenever I need to go. She still hasn’t pee’d yet.
David helped her a few days ago when she needed to poop. She screamed and cried the whole time and refused to go.
She will at least sit on the chair but refuses to use it again—oh well, I knew not to expect too much right away….

Oh, how I would LOVE to have my daughter out of diapers before I get pregnant again!

Well, it has been 6 weeks and she has done great, had 2 poop accident sright at the start and none since. She doesn’t always tell us when she has to pee but she goes every 1.5-2.5 hrs and sleeps with no pull up on at nap time, still in a pull up for bed time but she is doing great!
I guess from what people say it will be a matter of time before she is dry through the night.
YIPEE!

I don’t know. Maybe she’s not ready. I’m getting hte feeling she doesn’t know what “that pee feeling” is like. Or either she just doesn’t care. I’ve gotten so much advice from people; Including losing the diapers completly and letting her pee big girl panties in order to feel what its like to be wet. I gave her the panties. She ran around laughing—so happy, and then she went to the corner and peed in them. (Even though we had just gotten up from her potty) Now she’s getting to the point where she doesn’t even want to sit on it. Maybe I should just wait a few more weeks. Maybe after her birthday.

this sure is hard hitting another milestone in my daughters life, I feel like I have no idea where the 2.5 years have gone.
we are now at potty training. I have her in diapers still to get her used to the idea of peeing on the toilet, but am I confusing her? Should I just have her in underare and deal with the accidents? How do you know what is right?? She doesn’t tell us when she has to go yet but we put her on the toilet every 20-30 min.
I hope someone out there can offer some advice.
