OK, so my daughter is now officially over 3 and still isn't potty trained. I made the executive decision that we would begin the torture process.
I went out to Target and bought anything that I thought may help, including a variety of bribes. I left off the alcohol (which I really could have used), but remembered the toys and candy.
So far, the process has been pretty good. Yesterday was an accident free day (though the lake she created this morning more than made up for it) and she has even held it during a few car trips. I hate having to put her in diapers and pull ups at nap and at night, but its better than the mess she creates.
What blows my mind is that she is SO much more difficult to train than my son was. I mean, he was done in two days with VERY few accidents and was night trained in like two months. And this was before he was 3. Not her. She sits on the potty sometimes for over 30 minutes, only to get up and sit back down and go. She scoots all around the house on the potty and has even eaten snack while sitting on the mini-can.
So, not only do I have to eventually teach her to wipe herself, but I have to teach her that she should actually be peeing in the bathroom and that it isn't a good idea to eat while sitting on the toilet. Reading - yes, eating - no.
