I did a potty training thread a few months ago and decided that I would switch to cloth diaper and let her lead the way. I've had some new developments with potty training and i'm just not sure what to do.
I did the switch to cloth diapers my dd hate them. She digs ant them and say's "No mommy, i want disposable" I suspect the snappy is digging into her hips, but i'm not sure if it's the reason or one she's giving because she doesn't like them. Anyways so we're back to using disposible. She will not potty at home. I have little potty's and potty insert for a grown up potty. We've decorated the bathroom in princesses stickers because she likes them. We've gotten her a stool to get on and off on her own (without needing mommy to be around). We bought funky colour soap for her to wash her hands because she LOVES to wash her hands. But she will not potty at home. I say she will not potty at home because she loves to potty in public washrooms (much to my distress because i HATE public washrooms. I've even went and bough a portible lysol spray for the toilets because she won't sit on a potty with tp layed down) and at other peoples houses. She can tell me when she needs to pee because she tells me in the malls. I know she can hold it because i have had to run her from one side of a store to another to make it to a potty. If we spend a day in the mall she will not use her diaper once. But at home she will not use her potty and only want diapers!
I'm getting frustrated because i get all the stress and hectic stuff associated with potty training when i'm out but none of the benifits of her using it at home (not having to buy as many diapers or washing cloth). I will also mention that she does not poop outside of her diaper ever whether at the mall or at home. when ask she will agree that she is scared to poop outside of her diaper. and i have discussed that it's ok to poop in the potty and she has had much modeling of using the toilet in general. She is very bright and most people mistake her for three because she is so verbal. But i just don't know how to get her to use the potty. at this point i'm only gently encouraging her to use the potty and she doesn't show intrest in using it at home and i'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Sorry for the long rant!

At first. But the longer you can continue to go diaper free, the more successes you will have in getting it in the potty. At first, I would expect very little to actually go in the potty, which means lots of clean-ups for you.
