I now know why I waited to potty train Brady until he ws 3. Leilani has been showing signs for months, but with the baby it has taken me awhile to put all of my effort into this. She is my stripper, who will take her diaper off, wherever she is, outside, inside, it does not matter to her.
Today we had 2 accidents in her underwear, so I gave in and put a diaper back on her. The pull-ups don't seem to work, since she is used to cloth diapers. So I am trying the underwear so she notices that her clothes get wet when she goes.
She goes outside to play and comes in with her diaper and her shorts in her hands. Oh my, I am starting to get frustrated, but trying not to show my frustration because she is only 2 and I am trying to encourage not discourage.
So, I bring the little potty to the entry way, so I can see her try to go potty, while I nurse Carter.
She sits on the potty and wow! She goes stinky!
So, I guess the purpose of this, is to remind myself that patience really is a virtue and I just need to keep at it. She is so stubborn, just like me but she really hasn't gone potty to understand what that means. I try and try but with a baby it is so hard to keep working on it. But, it will be so much easier in the end and we will all be happy!

Good luck, that's all I have to say. I am so not looking forward to potty training Braden, or any subsequent kids either. Hopefully she gets it quickly and relatively painlessly!
Good Luck! I am not looking forward to potty training my other kids- Afton was so easy. My advice, let her go naked- then she can visually see the pee on the floor and make the connection.
I would think the cloth diapers would be uncomfortable enough that she would be highly motivated to wear panties.
I have to agree that having them be naked for a couple days worked like a charm for me. It was messy, but he really got the picture fast. You are amazing to even be trying with a new baby in your life. Nice work!
Oh Maile...you are one amazing Mama!
How wonderful it will be when she is all trained.
Hang in there! And if there is anything I can do....just yell.
Cody was a stripper too (still kinda is.) When it got to the point where he took his diaper off and peed in the fridge (more than once!) I bit the bullet and potty trained him. I think part of potty training girls is the classic mother/daughter power struggle. Bryn decided one day that she wanted to do it and had 2 or 3 accidents after that. Just keep at it. Think of how wonderful it will be to have only 1 in diapers!!
