Evan was 3 before the penny dropped for him. By that i mean fully daytime TT, it took a bit longer for nights. Glenn is 2.5 & while he knows all about the toilet & whats it for I expect it wont be till about 3 for him as well.

I havent started with Lexi at all.. mind you she cant walk yet LOL...

But my Nephew wasnt fully TT till about 4... He could if he wanted to but was a cheeky toad & put on & changed his own nappies to get away with using the loo or potty LOL...

One thing I think is important is not to push them or make a fuss if they make a mistake or accident.

I think if you start TT with a child who is only 14 months (and not ready yet. cuz I guess there are some who are), TT is going to take just as long as if you left it till they were 2 or more. What I mean is you can push with TT from 14 months & they will finallly "get It" around 3yrs of age. Or you can wait a bit & the will "get it" around 3 yrs of age. KWIM..
