Hi, I'm new here..and this is my first post 
My daughter is almost three (september 1st) and has no interest in the potty at all. My niece, who is three months younger, has been potty trained for many months now. I feel like maybe I missed something (like her cues that she was ready), or am doing something wrong. It's so hard not to compare the girls since they're so close in age, and very similar in a lot of ways.
We go through weeks where she'll try, and even had a few days where she actually went. However, lately I ask her if she wants to try and she says "um, maybe later" or "not right now." I don't want to force her, but she can't do dance or go to 'school' (pre-preschool) like she wants to (and has to in the case of the school) if she's not trained by January. It's really frustrating because I know she can do it, she just doesn't want to. She wakes up dry from her naps, and sometimes through the night. It's hard sometimes not to yell at her to stop playing on the potty and just go. How do I get her to want to go? Er..help!
thanks
