Potty Training Update

So basically...it's not going to well. We are pretty much exactly where we started. After about 3 HOURS on the potty this morning AND still no potty, we got her up and put her in a pull up. Within minutes, she peed. Why didn't we get her off the potty sooner you ask??? Every time she sits on the potty, she just doesn't seem to go. But then AS SOON as we take her off, she has an accident. It happened more than 3 times yesterday. We just sat there thinking "She has to go. She'll go any minute." Nope!
Pretty much sums up how we were all feeling!!
So then we tried a different approach. Let her tell us when she has to go potty. Not so much. We are still trying some what but we've basically come to the conclusion that she is not quite ready. Many people say that their child will let them know when they are ready. We just don't really see that happening with Abigail. She has a hard time with change. Abigail would wear the same pajamas every. single. night. if we let her. And that's just one of many examples. So we think she will need a little push when it comes to potty training, but...this seems a little ridiculous. We'll keep giving her opportunities and one day (hopefully soon!!!) she'll get the hang of it!!

  2. This picture is priceless!! Hang in there. As you said, she may not be quite ready yet? Age is just a number, and each child is different. We once thought our boys would be attending kindergarten in diapers, but they all get there in their own time.
