When I was pregnant with Andrew Sara went backwards. It was rough. She is potty trained now but I just let her due her thing. I hoped to have her out of pull ups before Andrew was born but that didn't work. Once she turns 4 she will get it. Most kids are day time potty trained after the age of 4. She will do it when she is ready.

 What worked for us is simply not giving our daughter diapers.  She doesn't like accidents and will ultimately use the potty vs. wetting herself.

Cold turkey worked for us! Our son was trained the week before he turned 4. It took 2 days and we made him put the wet clothes in the washer. We were careful not to embarrass him so we stayed home and inside and he was so proud of it!!!!

I know it's hard to hear, because I keep getting told the same thing too..........they'll go when they are ready. Just keep mentioning that that's what big kids do and that she's a big kid now. Talk it up about being proud of big kid things & actions. Toddlers don't want to give up that baby time with mom, but at the same time really want to be older too. Just keep trying hard to show the positives it will have. She'll come around!!!  But I know how hard it is to have patience!!

 We've tried the cold turkey no diaper thing... she held it all day and waited til nighttime when we put a diaper on her..

She is always telling me "mommy i can go poppy in the potty" but never will!! 

well starting tomorrow I will be house bond for at least the next week maybe longer, we are going the cold turkey thing as well.  My husband is rolling up all the area rugs just to be on the safe side.  Fingerscrossed that this works.  I'm at the end of my rope!  I really want him to go to Pre-K in the fall but has to be potty trained in order to go.

 I think we'll do the same.. all week this time too... it's stressful when you have the pre-k date looming over you... lol.

That was the time frame in our heads also. He was officially trained about this time and went to pre-k in the fall with no troubles. It took us a weekend. And he also held his number 2 until the nighttime when we would read a book while he went and the talk of the night, everynight...."who/what goes poopy outside?" Let me tell ya, it made for some interesting nights. He learned number one sitting and after a month of this, he wanted to be like daddy and stand up. We never had problems since except of course the occasional accident. He is in kindergarten and yes there are kids there that have accidents, not my son though! He is so proud and I am happy we went cold turkey!!!! Plan for a weekend. If it takes more, then perhaps he is just not ready and remember......practice makes perfect.

Good luck!!!!

PS.....I have a little girl now....what age should we start training?

 I've been trying to train my daughter since she turned 2... she will be 4 in a month :)

Same here Jenibuni, we started potty training at around two and my son just turned four. I can get him to sit on the potty with no problems, but he won't go.  He'll hold it all day until he has that one big accident.  He tells me he doesn't want to wear big boy underwear, and he doesn't wnat to go potty.  He is so comfortable with his pull-ups, that this is becoming a big issue.

We just got serious about potty training this week.  My daughter is 2 1/2 and will be 3 in Aug.  She needs to be trained by then as we is registered to start pre-school and she has to be potty trained to attend.  A friend on one of my parenting board reccomended to use the bare bottom method.  So Monday off came the diaper and I put her in a dress and let her run around with no diaper on.  She pee'd herself exactly once. The next time we ran to the potty and she pee'd.  I put her pullups for Nap time that day and she woke up dry and we got a 2nd pee after naptime on the potty.  I made the mistake of putting her in a pullup that evening to watch a movie and she pee'd in it.  For nighttime I am still putting her in diapers.  We went out yesterday so I had to put her in a pullup.  We went on a 3 mile walk and as I was putting her in the car I noticed she was still dry so when we got to McDonalds we went and pee'd in the potty.  While we were eating she announced to the entire restaurant that she had to poo.  She took off running for the restroom.  We didn't make it but, I was so proud that she knew she had to go.  We came home and I had placed her in a diaper to come home and forgot to take it off and put her in a pullup for nap.  She pee'd in her diaper when she woke up.  Off the diaper came and I left her bottomless until we went outside to play with friends.  We played outside in regular panties and had no accidents.  We had dinner and before bath we got another pee and a poo.  This morning she was left in her diaper when she woke up (Hubby is not with the program yet) she pee'd in it but, I did get a pee before lunch in the potty. 

I am a firm believer that this is something they can't be rushed with.  They have to be ready.  I feel that she is ready now and that is why we are having the excellent results.  When a child is not ready you and they both with become frustrated and you will not get anywhere.  We have taken baby steps to get here and I feel that had I rushed her we would not be where we are now.

Good Luck.
