We potty trained DS using the 3 day potty training method by Lora Jensen. Did it a couple weeks after his 2nd birthday and worked like a charm. He was running to the bathroom by day 2 and was doing so well on day 3 we actually took him to a gathering at a friends house.
DD, different story. We are halfway through day 3 and I am about to throw in the towel. Besides holding it for record amounts of time and getting about 3 total pees in the potty, it hasn't clicked for her. We cleaned two poops out of her bed - one last night and one early this morning (because she held it so long I'm guessing). And she held her pee for 6.5 hours this morning. Not one single drop came out the entire time. I'm not sure what to do next. I know I'm going to put a pullup on her tonight, but I'm thinking maybe I should dump daytime training too...the only thing holding me back is that she can obviously hold and control her pee. She's really reluctant about sitting on the potty. Advice? Thoughts on what direction to go next?

"Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
