    Default Potty Training 2 1/2 year old girl

    Having issues potty training my 2 1/2 year old girl. Just doesn't seem interested in it. She will sit on the toilet for a few seconds and say 'i done'. Then she wants to wipe and get down and flush right away. I try to sit by her and tell her to push; and still nothing. I've even tried to take her pee with me and "show" her how mommy does it. I've tried regular underware thinking if she feels the pee or poo, maybe she'd realize and want to go. Still nothing. Also tried pull ups. We've went to the extent of Dad sitting to go potty all the time too. We've basically givin up and put diapers on full time. She doesn't like having her diaper changed, even with #2 in it. If we ask, did you go poop, she says "i not pooped", even when she has a full load. Any advice or tips would really help. I am almost 6 months pregnant with baby #2, and trying to at least get a grip on things before this baby comes in June. Should I just give up, and when she is ready she'll let me know? Should I keep pushing it?

    Am dealing with the same thing. Only I have twins and one is trained, the girl, the boy isn't...I have been using candy, two m&m's when he goes. It has helped some. I don't like bribing, but he is getting too old for diapers! He is responsible for taking off and throwing away his wet diaper. I won't change wet ones unless he asks and does this. He has to ask to have his poopy ones changed, he has to take it to the garbage too. I take it off and clean him up.
    His grandma just found a potty watch from Lillian Vernon. It has a timer that you set for either 30 minutes, 60 or 90 minutes and it goes off to remind them to go in and sit. I can't wait for it to arrive. In the meantime, we are going to use the kitchen timer. I also make him change his own pants if he wets in his underwear, which we are starting to use more and more. It is frustrating! It sounds like you are doing a good job encouraging her, keep it up an it will pay off.
