Desperation will lead to almost anything. Today, for example, I rigged up a doll to go potty. Number one AND two. That is how I spent my "free" time while the Terrors were napping. Teaching a doll to go potty. And for what? So Girl Terror could laugh hysterically and demand that Dolly go "again, again!!"

What we will do to get our kids to go in the potty! I used to spend a lot of my free time in the bathroom with my oldest as she had some anxiety issues with going #2. She would hold it too long and then it was painful, and then she would not want to go again the next time- you see the cycle. Of course it all resolved it self with time (and a little stool softener). Hang in there!
Our stuffed animals AND dolls went potty all the time. I did finally discover that for my kids, a little wind-up music box worked. They would tinkle while the music box tinkled. It was a race to see who finished tinkling first. And whoever poopied in the pottie automatically won. Strangely enough, the music box never won that one.
I'm almost afraid to ask how you rigged the doll to go number 2.
If this works, could email me detailed instructions on how to make a doll go #2? I'm desperate!
Sorry to say, this did not work. If I ever find the answer, Christine, I'll let you know!
I wondered if anyone would ask me how the dolly pooped! I took a piece of brown bread, got it wet, and mucked it up in my hand. I shaped it into an....oval? I guess? and put it in the potty. Then I got Dolly, told Girl Terror that Dolly said she had to poop, and ran to beat the band into the bathroom. By the time Girl Terror got there, Dolly was sitting, "waiting" for the poop. Ta da!! Poopie! Flush down the toilet.
I had NO IDEA that such measures were required to potty train. I am SO green!
