I'm glad to report that my daughter has found out that panties are not to pee in. Yesterday, I transitioned her to underwear and she is asking me to go potty when she needs to go.
What helped us? Well, my DH suggested putting a pair of underwear with the crotch cut out on her. Sounds weird, but I think that she realized that if she peed in it, it would go straight to the floor, so she better ask for her potty. Then I put regular underwear on her after a bit of that, and she's doing pretty well so far. Just had one accident in the late evening.
So, looks like progress is happening! In the meantime, I can't leave her with anyone until this is complete. So no babysitter for our anniversary tomorrow. I don't think that my MIL wants to deal with potty training and I'm not putting Hannah back into diapers, so with us on our date she goes!
