How cute are my kids? Here they are celebrating Haylee's "success". She is going to be three this month and we are trying sooooo hard to get her potty trained. We tried a few months ago with no success. I decided that she wasn't ready so we took a break and now we're trying again. When I woke her up a few days ago I announced that she isn't wearing diapers any more and its time to use the potty. She actually seemed excited about the idea. Three days later she had only gone on the potty once. ONE TIME IN THREE DAYS! But we threw a party in her honor with balloons and toys and treats that I had been using as bribes the whole time. I thought this might get her excited to keep it up, but I was wrong. Am I doing something wrong? I'd gladly accept any tips or advice anyone might have. I'm desperate!March 9, 2009

Let me know if you get anywhere.. Charlie won't even go once on the potty. He doesn't even care about bribes anymore. He'll be 9 and still wearing diapers to school.
The only advice I have is that once they are ready it will be so easy. I hauled around a 3 1/2 year old wearing diapers, but once she decided she was ready she only had a few accidents.
Not good advice...I know...but she will eventually catch on.
