My biggest problem is that Emma has no interest in using the potty – she says she likes wearing diapers. Any motivation suggestions?

I will have to try that out with my DD! :)

For every potty use, she earned a sticker, which went on a piece of paper. For every ten stickers, she got to choose an item from a grab bag that I filled with dollar store stuff. Once we filled the page with stickers, we stopped giving them out and she didn’t mind/notice at all. Oh, and this process was started on the weekend, when she and I were both at home. I let her wear underwear and asked her if she needed the potty every 20 minutes. She only had 1-2 accidents over the weekend and started back at daycare on the Monday wearing panties. I also decorated the wall opposite the toilet with wall stickers that have animals and their letters, so we had something to talk about while hanging in the bathroom.

My sil made one like that for my DD for Christmas this year. So far, DD isn’t really interested–I think it’s too poofy for her. She’ll like it eventually I’m sure.
