William has been potty training since April. I didn't realize that potty training would take quite so long. I thought that maybe a month or two, and then we'd have only an accident now and then. But it's 6 months later, and there is an accident daily. I do laundry constantly and I'm happy when he just wets his clothes, rather than the floor too.
We make a big deal out his success. We will jump up and down and say Yeah!, and he gets a treat, sticker, or some tv time when he's consistent.
Wynn has been watching and learning. She will crawl over to to the little potty, sit on it, and cheer, yeah!
Today I decided to let her run around naked before bath time. We have had so much pee pee on the carpet, I figured what harm could a little more do. We're having it steam cleaned soon, so better now than later.
Well, after about a minute of playing, she ran over to the potty, sat down, and peed. She's only 15 months old, so it was pretty amazing to me. Of course she proceeded to put her hand in the pee pee in an attempt to play with it, but for one brief second my baby girl had grown up!
While I'm in no hurry for my kids to grow up, I had a moment of excitement, thinking about a life free a diapers, diaper bags, diaper wipes, diaper genies! Oh the freedom! I can see the light, I will carry a purse again.

I'm no expert, but it seems that boys take longer than girls. A friend of mine didn't get her boy potty trained until he was 3.5, but here 21 month old girl is already starting to use the potty and hates her diaper. Good luck!
