How is your 3 y.o. not using or even trying to use the potty?

    Oh, she's trying.    When she turned 2 we started pushing her to do it and she just wasn't ready.   We would try again every few months.   Still wasn't ready.   There is really no point in pushing a child to do it when they don't want to and aren't ready.   And she's not in daycare or anything so there was no reason to push the issue.     
    The last few weeks she has shown major signs of being ready - - she knows when she's about to pee and she will sit on the potty - - but just can't actually do it in the potty yet.   She gets really anxioius about it.   And then she'll pee in her diaper and need it changed right that second.   So she seems to be more ready now then she's ever been.   We're on vacation next week and we're going to focus on it.  
    She also has some bowel problems so we're not sure how going #2 is going to work out.   We're working with the doctor on that part of it.

    Also, I bought her a Disney Princess potty reward chart, so that might help.   Incentives never meant anything to her in the past, but now that she's older they do.

    And she's only been 3 for one day.   Up until yesterday my 2 year old wasn't potty trained and that doesn't seem like quite the big deal.   :p

    LOL.  I just can't imagine still spending that much on diapers.  It has taken me ages to go through DD's last box.  I love that she uses the potty almost exclusively now, except for bedtimes.

    Well, good for her.   ;)
    Yes, I am sick of buying diapers.   Especially since she's in a size 5 now and you get fewer diapers per box.

    NO!   She doesn't look that big!   Does she just have a big booty?
