Well, my daughter (MacKayla) will be 3 this December & is still very far from being potty trained. I am working on getting a step stool for the potty, but are there any other things I should be on the look out for, that may be a hinderance to her potty training, specific to Achon?

" Hello, I also have a daughter who is going to be three in May and I have gone through the potty training with her. When she wants to be independent she uses her Winnie the pooh potty that we bought for her - but there are times that she wants to use the "big" potty so we just hold her on it. That way if you are at a restaurant or somewhere that you don't have her potty then she won't be afraid to go. "
