That seems like more work than if she was still in diapers (only 4 steps (or less)- 5 max if there is a rash). I never heard of holding a tissue to someone because they cannot stand their own pee smell, what is up with that? Is she diabetic (that can cause a funky pee smell from what I hear- and that is understandable)? Does the mom feed her asparagus every day?

But yea I would NOT call that potty trained until she can at least undress herself with very little help (help wiping can be understandable due to little arms).
