    Since she is still on they young side, I would just give it a rest. Put diapers on her. If she wants to go, let her, but don't push it. In a month or so, try again--but don't do the physical rewards, give her hugs, kisses, and lots of praise. My boys' preschool director once said that many kids train in August--because they want to go to school. Also, before you go to panties again, call and go visit the preschool to help her remember that she needs to use the potty to go to school--that will be her biggest motivator--especially since she can do it physically.

    BTW, we will be down in Wild Dunes in August :)

    So you know you've got the "ready", but there will be absolutely no progress until you get the "willing". I agree with Sharon that you need to give up on this for a while. Jamie was potty trained shortly after she turned two. She was a pleaser and it was a breeze. Nicole could do it, but decided she would not. So I left her until she was ready and when she decided to use the potty she was trained very quickly...BUT she would not poop on the potty. That took another 4 months...during which time I did not put her back in pull-ups, I just changed her poopy panties. Luckily she was pretty predictable with her BM's and they were never loose and runny (sorry TMI). Anyway, this is a battle you can't win, especially when you are frustrated about it. Give it a rest then try a different tactic. Does she have an older friend or relative who is potty trained who she admires? That might be an angle for you. Enjoy the break until you see some signs that she may be willing to try. GOOD LUCK!!

    2 1/2 is not that old. Honestly, I don't think it's worth the stress. Go back to diapers and let it go for a while. It will be easier on all of you.

    Hang in there
