Potty Training Attempt #1

Potty training was attempted last weekend. This was pretty much how we spent the whole weekend:

Friday was rough. Accidents all day long with no success. I'll be honest, I was ready to through in the towel and quit. See I wasn't fully committed to potty training. In my opinion diapers are far easier and I do not mind changing them. Andrew convinced me to carry on though. So I hit the internet to get some more tips and pointers and was ready to begin again on Saturday.
Saturday was like night and day. She only had 1 accident the whole day and was going to the bathroom on her own without us having to prompt her.
Sunday was even better. She had no accidents.
Monday it all went down hill. At this point she had either been going bare bum, or just wearing underwear. Obviously this wasn't going to fly if we were ever going to leave the house. The other problem was that she would not go on demand. I would tell her that she can't go outside until she went potty, and she would run and sit on the toilet for 2 min and then declare she was all done. Within minutes of getting outside she would have an accident. Another problem if we were ever going to leave the house.
I tried all the online tricks to get her to go when we needed her to and nothing worked. Introducing pants to her wardrobe also contributed to her having more accidents.
About this time it became clear that she saw "going potty" as more of a game. She would declare she had to go potty and drag us with her into the bathroom, only to sit on the toilet and do nothing. The little trickster also started using it as an excuse to get out of time out.
So about Thursday I threw in the towel and put her back in diapers. She is definitely close to being ready, but I'm in no rush to get her out of diapers and I would rather her be ready then to have the headache of trying to force it.
