I think we are ready to work on potty training! We have had a potty forever, and DD likes to sit on it (fully clothed usually) whenever I go to the bathroom. Yesterday when I was using the bathroom, she asked me to take off all her clothes and diaper. She then asked for a book, and lo and behold she peed on the potty!!! For the first time ever.
After that I let her run around naked from the waist down for about an hour. I asked her periodically of she had to go, and she sat down a few times but no results. She then had an accident and told me immediately. We then went out, so I put her in a pull-up (her first pull-up experience).
This morning she ran around naked for awhile....no results. We went out for awhile (in a diaper) and after we came home, I had her run around naked again. She had a couple more pee accidents and she told me right after they happened. In fact one time she came and said "I have to pee" and sat on the potty, but she had already peed.
I then heard her getting ready to poop, so I had her sit on the potty and she actually pooped! I couldn't believe it. But then she asked for a pull-up. Not a diaper mind you, the blasted Disney Princess pullups that she now ADORES. :( She peed in the pull-up of course, because it is like a diaper.
So basically, when we are home, I have her naked or in cloth trainers (she isn't very fond of these and prefers to be naked). When we go out she wears a diaper. Sometimes at home she asks for a pull-up, which I try to discourage, but if she insists put her in one.
What else should I be doing at this point? Thanks!
