Vey valid question but I don't think it is...the only time I ASK her to sit on the potty is when it's been 3-3.5hrs since she last peed and I think maybe she'll pee now. I also only sometimes do this (because it rarely, if ever, results in a pee on the potty!). She sat on the potty once today that is it. I've never made her go try on the potty with any regular frequency...the whole reason I started potty training so young is because she was holding it so long, she showed interest in the potty and my DCG girl was training and my daughter wanted to sit on the potty as well...it all kind of seemed like it was time to try.
As for a potty in her room...she is still in a crib and in a heavy duty sleepsac, with layers of pj's on lol (she has the coldest room in the house). There is no way she could get out of all that to go on her own. She is fully able to pull her own panties and pants up and down but at 24months of age I wouldn't expect her to get out of all the pj layers! We are not looking to move her out of her crib for at least a few more months because she is quite happy in there and she sleeps great in it.
I can't help but think she has no clue HOW to pee. Everything else is in order: holding it for long periods, knowing right before she pees (only a couple seconds before), able to communicate, ability to get her panties/pants up and down on her own. She just doesn't pee on the potty!!!! So as far as I can tell she doesn't yet know how to relax her body enough to pee...or she is messing with me. And yes, she totally has the personality to be messing with me (even if she is only 24months)!!
