We've had a potty chair sitting in the bathroom for almost six months now. Ainsley would sit on it with her clothes while I would go to the bathroom, but never really wanted to actually try to go. I decided a couple weeks ago to see if she was interested and thought I'd start working with her pretty hard. I bought her some Minnie Mouse underwear and she was really excited to wear them. The only problem was, she didn't want to wear them under her pants, but rather over the top of her pants. She wore the underwear over the top of her pants for two days straight, refusing to take them off, or let me put them on under her pants.
The first day, she did tell me seven times or so that she needed to potty. I would take her back, and she would sit on the toilet for a minute or so, but wouldn't actually go.
I've decided not to push it, because I don't think she's ready. If she tells me she needs to potty, I'll put her on the toilet, but we're going to wait a few months before trying again. I think if she would go one time on the toilet, she would figure out what she needs to do. Even though I don't want my baby to grow up too fast, it would sure be nice to only have one kid in diapers!
