Well i don't know where we're at. If she's in the house and bare-bummed she will reliably go in the potty now, even when there's guests in etc. BUT if she has ANY fabric against her, including pants, she will pee in them. *sigh*

I don't know how to get by this. If i put pants on her in the morning, she wets in them then takes them off, and goes bare, and then reliably uses the potty. If i put another pair on she does it again. I've always given up at 2. Should i just keep doing it over and over? I mean, i can't line-dry, and the dryer is seeing plenty of action as it is! Someone suggested putting a washcloth inside her nappy, so the "wet" feeling becomes more of an issue, but since she immediately removes a nappy when it's wet i don't think that's what she's missing. I guess maybe i should dress her in pants and take her out so if she wets she needs to come home wet, but she's wet herself before in the park (she was in a pull up but pooed in it and cried and begged to have it taken off, so i took it off and wiped her off with it and put her trousers back on and she wet about 5 minutes later) and she didn't even NOTICE!

I'm wondering if the potty, for all it's great for being accessible, is actually making it more difficult. Because if the potty is there she doesn't need to tell me, she just runs to the potty, but if she isn't telling me she will pee in her pants (twice she sat on the potty and peed through them, the other times she just crouched and peed on the floor). Maybe i should put it away and from tomorrow just put pants on her and tell her to tell me if she needs to go and she can go in the loo. I feel like we're paddling in the water, rather than learning to swim. I feel bad too because i have NO idea what i'm doing and i remember when i was small that the fact that my brother used the loo was my main impetus and instruction, and i feel like with DD emanation is not cutting it and i don't have anything else!
