Lily is potty training. Or maybe I'm the one learning something new. We all assumed this would be easy. She gets every other concept. She has full conversations, memories, and can give me directions to her favorite places. How is potty training a concept she wont latch on to? Maybe she is just refusing?
We have tried everything. The weekends in., the surprises for successes, the DVDs, the pull ups, and even sitting on the Elmo potty for an hour at a time. We rarely have success, she doesn't even seem to notice when she pees herself, and she refuses to talk about it.
She isn’t connecting the idea of actually going potty to the prize. She’ll sit on it, wipe, flush nothing, and say its time for a prize. She loves diapers and hates diapers changes. She’ll be 3 next month. I’m at a loss. I’ve been googling all morning and her mother has read every book and article.

Today, I will actually venture out into the world with her in "Big Girl Pants". Maybe she'll take note of an accident if it happens around strangers.
Who has ideas?
