We've offered a swing set if Princess will get potty trained. Although she really wants it, she is still completely unmotivated to stop wearing diapers. We printed a picture of the one she'll get, too. Since she has a three year old's attention span, we thought it would be good for her to be able to see it often. (A friend suggested we get her a toy she really wants and put it on a shelf in the bathroom. We thought that would be hard with a swing set.)
We don't know what to do. I have mostly left her alone and let her take her time in deciding she is ready, but she's almost 3 1/2. We are ready! We bought a new potty. She loves it and will sit on if for a long time. She's even gone in it a couple of times. She still doesn't care at all whether she's wearing a diaper or not.
I wish I had a magic wand!

ahhhh I feel your pain. Wow a swing set. That oughta do it right?!?! Good luck!
Good luck! I wish you had a magic wand too! . . . makes me kind of nervous to go through it ourselves!
Maybe you should start beating her. Oh wait, she's too cute.
I feel your pain! Emma trained a week before her fourth birthday. Plus, she was as tall as a six year old at the time and boy did I get some odd looks when we were out and public and it came out that she was still in diapers.
What finally did it for her was gum. She really, really wanted to be a big girl who got to chew gum. So she got a piece every time she went.
What a mess.
But it worked. =)
Hope things click for her soon!
Don't push it! If you do it will just frustrate the both of you. Evan was 4 when he was potty trained, so don't feel bad about her age. When they are ready it is sooo easy and they just about do it by themselves.
DumDum suckers (every time) and Dora undies is what finally worked for us.
Thanks for the suggestions! Now, I remember that it was so hard when we were ready for Link to potty train and so easy when he was ready!
Seeing as how I made my mom potty train Sweet Terror I can't really give any advice except: get your mom to do it for you. =)
With Elora, she had seemed almost finished then she insisted on wearing diapers again.One day, we told her she wore underwear from now on. IT took about two days of her having accidents on the floor before she started using the potty regularly again, and that was that.
