We are way past that point now but I remember them. My oldest son was given a "Going to the Potty Potty" video with a little boy doll and a potty. Now his potty did not look like the dolls so we had to find one just like it. We did that, then he would not go unless he was watching the video and could sing the song. By the time he realized he needed to go and ran to the bathroom to retrieve the potty he would pee on his self. Needless to say the potty stayed in the living room after a few accidents. So I can totally relate to the potty in the living room. With my youngest, I bribed her also. We sang and danced around and made a huge deal out of her going and she loved it. Problem with that is she expected it all the time and once she had the hang of it and was getting up in the middle of the night she would bring the pee bucket to my bed and wake me up to sing and dance. I don't think there is a right way to do it. But you know we all end up potty trained so hang in there! Oh I remember those days. We are way past that point now but I remember them.

It was so miserable. Once it was over, though, it was like, click! and then it was not such a big deal anymore. Well, except when it was. And even now sometimes I get yelled at for suggesting a trip to the potty. My mom's secret to easy potty training was to just let us run around naked all the time. Then, when we had to wee, we'd just squat on the grass. I didn't try that, but now my kid wees in the grass anyway. RE holding the poop-- ask the pediatrician what you should do, but I'd suspect you just wait it out. If she's had enough to drink in the meantime, hopefully it won't hurt too much when it does come out. I HATED HATED HATED potty training. It was so miserable.

Hopefully soon she will "become one with the potty". I'm going to be embarking on potty training soon and I am not looking forward to it. She looks wicked cute sitting on her little potty though!
