I just went into one of my downstairs bathrooms where my babies potty chair is. I just happened to look in it and you know what? I think she has gone pee pee and I didn't even know it. My older daughter takes her to the potty all of the time and she must have taken her to pee. I don't know of anyone else who would pee in the potty chair except maybe Zoe. I think thats the only place in the house Zoe hasn't pee'd so far. I'm just so afraid now that since Gillian pee'd in the potty and she didn't get praised or anything like that it will take me forever to get her to do it again. How could this have happened without me knowing it? I'm really upset about this. My baby pee'd in the potty for the first time and I didn't know it. I didn't get to tell her how proud of her I am.

you can still tell her. take her back to the potty chair and praise her. kids are pretty smart and it looks like she is getting the idea of it .especially beings that she did it on her own. its a big event for them. lol my oldest daughter didnt like soggy diapers. she was about 9 months old and started taking her own diaper off and sitting on her chair . it didnt take long for her to pick it up. my oldest son was a whole different srory. lol
I had Kaitlyn, my oldest daughter, potty trained at a year and a half. Gillian just turned 2 and has shown no interest what-so-ever. I only bought her a potty chair because she was afraid of the big potty. I hate the potty chairs too. Gillian is now getting to the point where she tells me she needs her diaper changed. I wet, she says. I hate potty training just as much as I hate house breaking. I'm still upset I didn't see her I do it.

Aw! I can understand how you feel, that happened to me once as well. I bet you are so proud of her though! Just think, it's a start, and pretty soon she will totally catch on
My kids were funny because the thing that worked the best for them was just putting them in regular underwear. I just nixed the diapers altogether when they turned 2 and just let them wet themselves so they felt what it was like. And when it happened, I didn't get upset or anything (I didn't want to make them feel bad for their accidents), I would just say in an enthusiastic voice, 'See! You went potty! When you do that, go to the bathroom okay?' and after like a week, they started to catch on to when they felt like they were about to go. And I had a special treat that I only gave them when they went in the potty. I kept it in the bathroom and gave them one when they went. But they only got one when they actually went. If they just went and sat on the potty, they didn't get anything (you wouldn't believe how many times they thought just going in there meant a treat, lol) With my daughter, I even bought a doll that pottied and I would have the doll potty, and then I would throw a party for the doll. Praising it like crazy and giving her 'presents' that I had actually wrapped up. My daughter thought that was so cool that she had to try it as well, lol.

Hunter I did that with my first daughter. I put her in underwear and a t-shirt and took her outside with her potty chair and just let her pee on herself. After a day and a half she was completely done. I did that with Gillian at the beginning of the summer. I took her outside in her panties. She pee'd on herself for a week and didn't care at all. The other thing is that a lot of time I didn't know she did it so I couldn't bring her in to clean her up. She pee's just little bits every 5 min. It's like every time she gets any bit of pee in her bladder she lets it go. I don't know how I'll get her to stop doing this.

Maybe try the doll/party thing? I got the idea from Dr. Phil and my daughter really got a kick out of it. I took things like the toys you get in those quarter machines at the grocery store, and I would wrap them up and put them in a basket that I kept in the bathroom. And then I would take the doll to the potty and make it go, and then make a big deal about it and give the doll presents, lol. My daughter would try to grab the toys, and I would say, "Oh no, these are for (dolls name)" and wouldn't let her play with it. I would just keep saying, "Only big girls that go potty in the potty get these presents". I even went as far as to bring her older brother into it since kids are so competitive. I started giving him these presents when he would go since he had been potty trained for like 2 years, and she got so jealous she started to want to use the potty, hehe

I remember those day! I have boys, Judd was easier, Ty was a little more challenging. But I made him go with Judd every time he went and he finally caught on. We also put the cheerio in the toilet for him to aim at. That made it more fun for him.
I'm still upset I didn't see her I do it.
