We're having mixed success around here. My daughter does things differently at my mom's where she is while worked compared to at home. When she was about a year and started showing interest in what other people were doing in the restroom, we got her a potty. She would sit on it fully clothed while we were using the big potty and pretend to use it. Later she would pull her pants down and pretend to go. Finally, she started going on the potty. Then we went through a period of regression, which lasted a couple of months. We're finally back on track, and she uses the potty regularly. She will only use her little potty at my mom's and she likes to use the big potty at home. I did get her a potty watch from One Step Ahead that plays music and goes off in 30, 60 or 90 minute intervals. She seems to like it, and gets excited because it's her special watch that lets her know it's time to try to potty. She likes to give and receive encouragement, so that plays an important role, too.
