I am right there with you! Our Muffin is about the same age. Sometimes she does so well - and she knows when she does well because she actually comes and stares at me until I say "show me" and she takes me back to her "room" and shows me! I think that is why it is so frustrating. When she does well we are over the top with praises and a special treat.

And she is so STUBBORN. I will put her in her confined area with her potty tray when I know she has to go, and she will hold it - forever, it seems - until I let her out and then she will go immediately on the floor! It is so difficult to make her stay in there for so long but that is what I have to do, I guess.

Good thing I love that little challenge!!
