We were doing really well (minus the poop part. He still goes in his pants.) then all of the sudden he decided that he wants to be a baby. So I have been throwing out his binkies when he goes to the bathroom in his pants. He's almost 4.
I was in the same place. After three days of the potty every thirty minutes, my daughter cried every time I took her so I stopped. A week later she started asking to use the potty and is staying dry most of the day. I was so thankful because that intensive potty training was making both of us miserable.
