I'm pretty sure that Taniyah is potty trained. She has been diaperless for 3 days now, gone out shopping, gone to practice, gone to church and even went all night dry. The funny thing is that she is TERRIFIED of the big potty. COMPLETELY TERRIFIED! We went to some of our family's house yesterday and didn't take the potty chair. She had to go potty but she would NOT go on the big potty. She cried for an hour before she finally relaxed enough to go pee. Then she was fine. We went to Ross and she told me she had to go potty until she saw the big potty and she yells "no potty, no potty". She held it all the way home before she went potty. I wonder if it's because the big potty is so much bigger than her and she's afriad that she will fall in. She's completely fine on her potty chair though. She will go over all on her own and go potty with no problems.

do you have one of those potty's that you can put the top on the toilet? that is what i had to do with Savannah. I am pretty sure she was scared that she would fall in. but if the top part of her potty that you can put on the toilet was there, she had no problems.

My daughter was always scared she would fall in so I always brought the potty chair with us (I still do at times), but lately, she's not so afraid of the big potty. We have a potty chair and my daughter uses that mostly at home. The potty chair can also go on top of the big potty, but we have one of those seats to go on the big potty so she doesn't fall in. Maybe you could get one of those seats and try it?

Good luck!

Try getting the little padded seats that set on top of the toilet.
We have the exact opposite problem w/Aubrey. She's always dipping her little fanny in the water :screwy
