I'll start by saying that I noticed today that Pampers come in size 7. <br /><br />I also tried the underwear thing with Bennett - he did the exact same thing - he thought it was hilarious. He too does not mind a wet or soiled diaper. We've also tried the treat thing - he was happy to take the treat but it didn't seem to motivate him to sit on the potty. <br /><br />We'll keep plugging away I guess and hope that at some point it just comes together and he gets there. As you've said - we've got a lot of other stuff on our plates. <br /><br />Good luck and keep us posted!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431752394930775920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-9613319590410456912010-09-25T19:53:24.915-07:002010-09-25T19:53:24.915-07:00Well, I've heard that pull ups come in much bi...Well, I've heard that pull ups come in much bigger sizes, so you've probably got more time than you think. I've heard the bit about the princess/character underwear before, but maybe short-term rewards? An M n M or a sticker every time she uses the toilet. Like you said, she just might not be ready and there's very little you can do but wait it out.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-58654460770497385732010-09-25T06:51:22.184-07:002010-09-25T06:51:22.184-07:00Hi Mo!

I personally switched my kids to cheaper (meaning more wetness/uncomfortable feeling) diapers when they turned 2...and then waited. Our oldest did that for over a year before she showed signs of being ready. You'll know when the time is right, trust your instincts.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00202396902186168603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-31847846649046372492010-09-24T23:12:24.736-07:002010-09-24T23:12:24.736-07:00My typically developing daughter did not really po...My typically developing daughter did not really potty train until three years and three months, and her good friend who is nearly five now still sleeps in pull ups because she just doesn't wake at night. You aren't really behind, Mo. At my large day care, they encourage the use of panties with characters, so they can say "don't pee on Dora." And boy does she look cute in panties!GingerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976594257345428901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-34502890061842690402010-09-24T07:27:40.810-07:002010-09-24T07:27:40.810-07:00She just turned 3, so don't rush it!

It doesn't sound like you are there yet. We have a 20 month old who is addicted to his bottle and two parents who are really unmotivated about weaning him from it so know that you are not alone!!!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211779263506355379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-67746869780991040792010-09-23T20:38:15.541-07:002010-09-23T20:38:15.541-07:00Hello there!

I work at a preschool for kids with developmental disabilities on the campus of my university, and we do a lot of potty training there. When and if you are interested, I can tell you about some of the things we do to make sure both mom and kiddo have the best chance at success. Just drop by my blog and leave me a comment if you are interested in outside opinions. By the way, Oia is remarkably beautiful. The boys are gonna be chasin her when she gets older! :) -Baileelivehappy08https://www.blogger.com/profile/00509742495554517077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-16435957121181030352010-09-23T20:20:05.510-07:002010-09-23T20:20:05.510-07:00I love how she checked herself out in the mirror! ...I love how she checked herself out in the mirror! I think that means she was proud of herself and excited about the panties. That is a good sign!<br /><br />I don't have much advice as we are still working on this with Gracie. I have found that routine trips to the potty are what work the best. I also watch for clues that she is going or needs to go, then we go to the potty.<br /><br />Just keep at it. As you said, this may be a slow process but with time and patience, it will pay off.The Henryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878410407082384985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-14389031494473105612010-09-23T19:42:18.431-07:002010-09-23T19:42:18.431-07:00Oh, but she looks so cute in those undies! :)
The ...Oh, but she looks so cute in those undies! :)<br />The last thing you want is to get frusterated. You've got enough going on as it is. I know what you mean about priorities. In my own experience though, the peeing on the floor has worked. If you do still want to try to train her, I would let her stay in her wet undies until she feels how uncomfortable it is to be wet. Just something to try if you haven't already. :)jennoharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450056329789727278noreply@blogger.com
