She is not ready for potty-training, or so Miss Haylie says. But we thought maybe if we took her to pick out her new panties, her excitement might continue into actually wearing them and eventually going on the potty. She is still pretty adamant about not even sitting on the potty (despite bribes of candy, marshmallows, Elmo potty seats and a pink frog potty), but will tell you when she goes pee and poop in her diaper. Justin and I both feel that she is ready - we just need to convince her of that.
We'll see how this goes. I'd rather keep her in diapers if it's going to give her a complex. But only having to buy one package of diapers instead of 2 sounds really wonderful. We'll just give it a shot...maybe it will be super easy. Or maybe not.

I think you're on the right track! You're probably going to have to just go for it sooner or later, so why not sooner! I have a friend who tried "gently" potty training, and finally (when they were about to be the only pre-schoolers in diapers) she had to just bite the bullet! It's no fun, but she'll do fine!
Sounds like you are going to be having a super fun time!!! If it causes frustration for you, it's not worth it. If you can handle, go for it!! My kids favorite "currency" was watching baby Einstein or wiggles. We started with just watching those movies with no diaper on a potty chair with a big cup of juice/water! That was the only way they could watch the movie...so they went for it. I wasn't trying to get them to go potty, just sit on it like a chair with no diaper. Avery accidentally started going just because she was relaxed and drinking! We threw a party and it became fun. Good luck!
