Yes, thank you ALL. Your input is very helpful.

DD is so incredibly bossy right now - supreme need for control. I figure some of the challenges we are facing are GT-related because her will is gigantic compared with her age peers. Let's just say she has the mechanics of when and how to use the potty down. She totally gets it.

I don't want to harm her overall sense of control and influence over her world. We don't need her to be potty trained this month. It can wait.

Kriston - you'd fit in nicely at our house with that kind of humor. wink
