Potty training thoughts

[Lee-Bee]

I have already tried running the sink the last few days! I've been joking to my friend that 'I've drained a lake but have yet to fill a potty" lol. I can offer a cup while on the potty see if that gets us anywhere.

She watches me pee all the time, my husband has started sitting to 'try and pee' while she is on her potty, she has seen him pee a few times standing up but I'm not sure she would have really connected that. I don't think our potties would work with a girl standing! They have handles and it would be such a wide stance she would totally fall over!

Gahhhhh...I think my kid is broken lol. I've tried the counting but my daughter LOVES counting and that sends her into naming colours and gets her rambling. Which further distracts her from trying to calm her body and pee. Maybe a soundproof, completely dark room would work lol.

I tried her naked one morning...but if she's only peeing every 3-4hrs...it means a naked kid all over my house and no pee. The whole peeing all over the floor and not liking it doesn't work if the kid doesn't pee.

5LM...I will try a potty in the middle of our house today to see if that helps her. I'd been weary of moving it from the bathroom because my daughter is so big on doll play right now I have been really trying to enforce a "potty is not for dolls" rule but I am pretty sure having the potty out near the dolls will only encourage her! I do disinfect the potties after each use...but my concern is if one of the girls pee on it without my knowing. Will give it a try.

I'm not a potty training expert, so I could be way off here. My daughter was similar, she could hold it, and she could tell me when she needed to go, but she couldn't pee on command. She could, and still does, hold it for a LONG time! We ended up buying her pull ups, and I think that helped her relax. She was potty trained within a week of using pull ups.
