Potty training... Boys vs. Girls

My daughter was potty trained a few months before her third birthday I could have done it earlier but I was dreading it. My daughter started staying dry all night at about one and a half, used to freak me out wasn't sure what was going on. At two I was able to get her to pee on the potty after nap times as she would hold it then to. But then I bought into the how pull up scam and I think it took longer because I used them. I stopped using them the day she told me I want my princess diaper, yep she wasn't fooled at all. So that was her last pull up and we went to panties. She had some accidents but was pretty much potty trained with only a couple of accidents here and there in about a week, it did take another week to master the poop part. She would come up to me and tell me "I pooped" and smile about it. So I told her one day I wasn't mad but told her matter or factly that I was tired of washing poop out of panties and if she did it again I was throwing them away and I would get her new ones with no princesses on them and that was the end of it. Funny how sometimes when you are out of ideas the last one works. I run a daycare and so I have had the fun of boys and girls and really it just depends on the kid, I will say boys are more messy and they like to stand to pee pretty quickly. Just this morning my one boy who has been doing wonderful just shot pee all over the place, I was caught off guard to say the least but I am sure it would have been really funny to watch my reaction to that. He will be three in May and is almost potty trained he has problems when he sleeps. I have another little boy who will be 4 in July and wants nothing to do with it. So really I think it really just depends on the child and not if they are a boy or girl. I think when they start holding it and show an interest in peeing on the potty it is time. And don't be pulled into the pull up racket. I watched they video and it says it will take about 8 months for the child to be fully potty trained, I laugh at that now as it really only takes a couple of weeks. And sure the occasional accident will most likely happen.

as early as possible, as long as the child can already understand then they can be potty trained, i trained my daughter when she was a year and a half years old since she can already understand. I did not really have any problems with her, she is 6 now and can clean after herself and can dress on her own. Though i am having problems with my second child who is a boy, he is 3 turning 4 next week. He knows where to pee but when it comes to poop..he gets ashamed and wont tell me on time!! which becomes so disastrous! lol He knows how to go to the comfort room its just that he does nto get there on time lol..
