We had some good success in Mexico. Molly even proclaimed "I pottied in Mexico. I'm potty trained!" After our talk with Dr. O who told us not to worry too much about it and even to back off because of potential damage to the bladder (it fills, she holds, it stretches...not good) we sort of let the whole potty thing go. I told her one day that it was her choice. If she was wearing undies then she could ask me for the potty or a diaper, either way. But not to 'hold it.' She asked for a diaper a few times and I thought it was all over. But in Mexico she peed in the potty. We had one fairly traumatic accident in a restaurant involving a forgotten swim diaper, a lot of paper towels, a teasing cousin, and lots of crying. But it didn't seem to phase her after the fact. Once back at the condo, to the toliet she returned.
At home, all day yesterday she used the potty. No big deal. And this morning she went in to the bathroom to wash her hands after breakfast and on her own realized that she needed to pee, got her stool, got on the potty and peed. Like she has been doing it for years. She has decided no diapers except for sleep time (which we all know she doesn't do often so this should really save on diapers!).
Next step...conquering the potty on the go scenario!
