- 5 loads/day of dirty, soiled clothes (since Thursday - oh so much fun)
- a little girl who refuses to go on the potty - even with the large quantities of juice and water I am giving her- she is holding it!!!!
- two jars in the bathroom - one with chocolate kissables and one with misc. toys - rewards to entice the little lady into going on the potty- THEY DO NOT SEEM TO BE WORKING!
- Now - thanks to mom's frustration with laundry - we have a naked 3 year old girl running around the house - 3 boys (yes, dad, too) telling me to get her dressed because it's "nasty" to see her naked!
- a stubborn little lady who doesn't realize that mom is as stubborn as she is!
You can lead a child to the potty - but I can't make her tinkle....Lord, please help me get this child potty trained!
Attention MOMS - I would love any advice...so please feel free to comment!

This blog made me laugh. Not that I do not feel your frustration, but it is kinda cute:)
Haha. I can totally picture the boys begging for her to be clothed. No advice from me, just encouragement...keep it up lady!! She'll come around eventually-This is one more reason to love your wood floors.
I SO FEEL YOUR PAIN!
This weekend we had success on Saturday and Sunday, all day, with our 3 year old daughter- yes same as you, with 2 older brothers...
I have to tell you it is all on HER terms- read my blog from yesterday at: http://lqmomof3.blogspot.com
I guess we will have our ups and downs.
I have to admit, with her brothers we waited longer and it wasn't that big of a deal. In all honsety, I was getting external pressure from my daughter's pre-school and she was kind of "toying" with us on the potty- I don't think she made a sincere effort until I started making her clean up her messes AND she felt a need to buy in. Regardless of the m&m bribes!
Now I have to work on weaning her from the candy after each successful encounter with the pot.
I hope you have a better week this week and just know there is another mom feeling your same pain!
I do know that they won't be going to High School in soiled panties :)
