Hi H.,
My daughter started doing the same thing around that age. She also became VERY interested in the potty at the same time. I started putting her on the potty each night before her bath and she would go pee (and sometimes poo!) almost every time. I never forced her to sit on the potty though. She was into in for a while then lost interest. I never made it a big deal and when she was about 2 1/2 she decided she wanted to wear panties. We had one "accident" on the carpet the first day and that was that! The most important thing is finding what motivates them. I am not a fan of candy as a reward so we found some healthy animal crackers instead. My daughter rarely gets crackers, so it was a special treat. After a week or so of success, I would only give a cracker if she asked. Our pediatrician told us to be patient and our daughter would let us know when she was ready. She still isn't potty trained at night and we aren't putting any pressure on her about it. I think it is more important that she gets great rest at night than to be potty trained, nor has she shown any indication that she is ready for night time training. Our pediatrician told us no to worry about it unless she isn't by 6 yrs old.
Sincerely,
L.
