Did this happen when you were PT'G?

Ava did great last week for the first 5 days- peed and pooped on the potty--happy to sit on it, especially for m&m's!  We even went out for 3 hours last week with no diaper, brought the ring and peed in Target, and she didn't have an accident.

However this weekend, and today--she doesn't want to sit on it anymore- she fights me on it. Clearly the novelty of the m&m's have worn off as she could care less about m&m's now. Every time I ask her to go pee- she says- No please, too hard.   She hasn't pooped in days (not sure if this has to do with PT'g).  There were times this weekend where I asked her to sit on the potty and she'd say no--then 30 second later pee in her underwear

I feel like we've hit a wall. I certainly don't want to make this into a power struggle b/c that is def. going to backfire. However, there are times when I know she has to go, but she'll refuse.....

Advice?

I'd give it a break and try again in a month.  Sounds like she's not ready (she might be physically, but not emotionally) and if you push it, it will be a power struggle.

I'll probably get the bad mommy award for this, but when Ethan did this (very occasionally), I would tell him he had to and would just plop his toosh on the toilet.  Sometimes he'd kick and cry, but as soon as he started peeing/pooping he'd be so proud of himself.  I also praised him like crazy and rewarded him everytime, even if I told him it was time to go.
