In the end, I listened to the needs of my daughter. She wasn't ready, so we'll revisit this later. Thank you for your suggestions, though.

You might have to wash the seats a couple of times, but it's worth it. And don't make things an option; don't say "do you want to sit on the potty," say "it's time to go potty." Period. Don't leave room for discussion about it. MAKE her go to the potty every 45 minutes. If going potty in the potty is the only option, she will go potty in the potty.

Grrr, but when we got home I put her in panties and she made a run for the potty when she had the urge, so she's starting to make the connection. Thanks again for all the words of encouragement!

I say that's success in Butt Camp (that's awesome by the way)!! I think everyone has an opinion about pull-ups, so I wouldn't let it get you down. We still called them "big boy pants" and not diapers, so I think that helped him too - we stressed that he couldn't pee in them either. Even if she thinks she can pee in the pull-ups and not the panties, that's a step forward! Yay! she went potty AND told you she had to go!!

I hope she is able to keep working with it even though she will have to put the pull ups back on. It seems her major issue was letting it go which I believe is a pretty normal reaction. She has definitely come through some strides in the past three days and that is something to be excited about. Good Luck!! Sounds like she had a lot of progress today.

My hopes are high for eventual success. Peer pressure will get them out of diapers before high school in the end. :) I agree about the 3-day thing working for the more physically and emotionally ready ones. I was getting a little concerned she'd start making the connection it was easier to just use her diaper than stop what she was doing and go to the bathroom. I needed to try this out to see if she'd bite. So far, so good. Thanks Carol Ann. My hopes are high for eventual success.
