I was simply offering my experience having gone through the process twice.With the first one, we tried all knids of things, without success, until one day, the Princess announced that she was a big girl and didn't need pull-ups any more. And she didn't.
With the Monster, we put him in pull-ups and let him know that it was time to start going to the potty instead of relying on a diaper. We got him the Everybody Poops book, and we offered encouragement. He took a little longer than his sister, but he evevtually got the hang of it.
The point is, the second time we didn't get frustrated and didn't try to force the issue. He got to the point where he was ready and that was that.
If it makes you feel better to be a bit smug about things, then mazel tov, but I wasn't being condescending, just a bit facetious.

No, no, sorry if I misread. The thing is, I haven't pushed at all - I'm sort of about that, and my older doesn't generally budge for anyone or fall for tricks, anyway - has always gone her own way, and she usually knows quite best for herself, so I tend to go with it. But she really is getting on what seems like the high side to me of not getting through the night. So I've just been wondering if I've missed something and taken the easy way out for me when there may be something to move her along.
