Potty Training

The time has come. My youngest, Emily, has come to the age of potty training. I've never been one to push my children to potty train, I just kind of let them lead. I introduced the potty to them, helped them understand what we did there and let them decide when they're ready to use it. My oldest was 3 when he potty trained, my middle daughter was 3 months shy of her 3rd birthday, and now my youngest will be 3 in April, just 2 short months away. She has started asking to go to the potty more and more, when she gets there, sometimes she goes and sometimes she doesn't, but more than not, she just wanted to try and ended up not doing anything.

Yesterday, she asked to go potty and I set her on the toilet, and decided right then and there, we would start officially potty training. I put big girl undies on her and set my time for 15 minutes and every 15 minutes I made her sit on the potty. She didn't go once! I was a little frustrated, but like I said, I didn't want to push her. But what frustrated me more than anything is right after she got off the toilet and hadn't done anything, she would pee her pants. So after 4 times peeing her big girl undies, I gave up for the day. We'll try again another day.

I'm in the same boat you are in. My son will be 3 in May but he shows no interest whatsoever in using the potty. Oh he'll say poopy on potty after the fact that he's gone in his diaper but he won't tell you he is going. I just keep telling myself that he's not going to be married and still wear a diaper lol.
Blessings,
Kim

Oh goodness, are you sure she's ready? When my son was potty training I gave him a standing ovation! He enjoyed the attention. Also, I gave him a potty seat instead of a little potty so he felt grown up.
Good luck!
