When should I stop waiting for my daughter to be interested in potty training?
So, I liked the idea of "she'll tell me when she is ready" but she is now almost 3.5 and isn't really interested. I believe she is capable though. How old is too old to still be in diapers for a child with no health issues??

Have you tried at all or have you just been waiting? IMO, if she has no health issues, I don't see why she isn't trained already.

My niece is also 3 1/2 and my sister has tried and just like your DD my niece has no interest.

I'm right there with you. My dd is 3.5 and she is perfectly happy in her pull ups. She will do pee on the potty but not poop. I was told I can't send her to camp in underwear since she's not potty trained. What's been working for us is that I told her they don't make the Dora pull ups (Pampers) in her size any more b/c she's too big to be peeing in her pants like a baby, and I got the Huggies ones with Disney Princesses. She hates them for some reason, so she has become a lot more motivated to sit on the potty more and asks to wear real underwear rather than the Huggies pull up. Once camp ends in mid August I have almost a month to get her trained before school starts.
Since switching to Huggies with her my mom bought a pack of Dora underwear and told her that once she is potty trained she can wear those and sleep over at my mom's, which is a big treat in her mind.
