potty training

so i've been trying to get manaia to use the potty for a long time and when i first started it went ok then it was just too much and she was not feeling it. I thought that since she has an awesome potty that plays music whenever she goes tinkle she would just be right out of the diapers especailly since she was 3yrs old. NOt what i thought.. lol so we just let it go till recently she was starting to say pee pee out of no where and thats when i realize she was ready when she was and we can't force the child to just make them go.. lol so far naia's been really good she still struggles on tellin me or ray when she needs to potty or she tells us when she just had an accident in her pull ups so we try and take her as soon as she wakes up in the mornings and from her naps..Doing this also made me realize that she will be 4yrs old in april and she is growing into a big girl im so proud of her especially everything that she ahs been through with her severe eczema and other issures along the years she is a strong litlle girl who lets nothing stop her from doing what she wants I love you my Manaia..
