Time for Potty Training?

Ivan's Mom really wants us to start potty training Emery. She says that Emery is smart enough to do it and told us we need to get on it. So, about a month ago, we went to the store and bought 2 potties, one for our house and one for Lola's. We brought it home, locked all of us in our bathroom (Carter included) and let her hang out without her diaper. She was happier playing with the potty and never did anything with it. I then would have her sit on it nightly before bath time and would give her M&M's while she was sitting on it. She finally got comfortable with the potty and with sitting on it, but never peed in it. So, we've kind of lost motivation and it's just a dust collector in the bathroom now.

The other night, Emery was making THE FACE so I knew she had to poo. Once again, we all headed into the bathroom to try to get Emery to poo in the potty. No such luck. She did fart though, so that's progress.

Then today, I had taken Emery and Carter on a walk. Carter decided to poop in the neighbors yard, so I had to pick up dog poop. Nasty! Not 15 minutes later, Emery pooped. Changed the poopy diaper. A couple of hours later, Emery was making THE FACE again and I said, "we really need to get you to poo in the potty". Well, Emery walked into the bathroom and sat on the potty. Unfortunatley, she had already pooped in her diaper, but do you think she's ready? Any advice or tips on potty training this young?


This one is with Emery in big girl panties. At our house, we just put them OVER the diaper. I'm not ready for that mess yet. :)
