XP: transition DD from occasionally going to full on PT'd?

LilyB2521

Sorry to be a duplicate poster, but I don't know what to do next with DD and getting her fully PT'd. 

DD has very suddenly over the last 3 weeks shown a lot of interest in going on the potty.  Most of the time she randomly says she wants to sit on the potty, so we go sit, she pushes but nothing comes out.  I still tell her she's doing great.  At the end even if she hasn't gone she loves to flush the toilet and waive 'bye bye poopoo' even when I tell her there isn't any poopoo there.  When we encourage her sitting on the potty and  pushing (even if nothing comes out) she calls herself a good girl and claps, so I know she's excited about it.

I've found I think she calls her pee poopoo too (she thinks it's all poo) so we're working on correcting that. 

Day care has also told us she's wanting to sit, but when she does, she usually tries but doesn't go. 

Then, last night while out shopping she asked me to go, so I took her into the restroom and she peed (yay!)!

I want to jump on this opportunity to try to get her fully trained, but I don't know what to do next?  Other than keeping to encourage her, I'm not sure what my next step should be?  Should I just put her in underwear this weekend and see how it goes?  I don't know what to do next - help - thank you!

Check out this site.  I used the three day to get my DS trained over labor day weekend,  Definetly sounds like shes ready.

When DD was ready (around the same age as your LO) we decided on a Saturday to just put her in underwear. We bought training underpants from Gerber. They are a little bit thicker so they absorb some pee but they are not like diapers. She had quite a few accidents that first day but we just took her to the potty every 30 minutes. On Sunday she had maybe 2 accidents. On Monday she went to daycare and they were really supportive too and she had 1-2 accidents, mostly because she didn't make it to the potty in time. But after that she got it (at least the peeing part). It would take a few more months until she would consistently poop on the toilet but she would usually do it in her diaper at nap time or at night.

Yes underwear is what worked for us. There will be accidents, but that was how DD learned she needed to go.  We still diaper at night until there are no wet ones.
