I agree with Iriz. If she'll do it for you, why not? I know girls are different than boys and girls usually potty train earlier than boys. . . but I have a 3 year old boy whom we began potty training at 2 because he showed interest. He would do #1 occasionally probably because he saw his brother do it. But around 2 1/2 years old he stopped doing it and actually cried sometimes if I tried to put him on the toilet. So my husband and I decided we would just stop forcing him. Now that he's 3, he's showing interest again and it's only taken him two weeks to stay out of his diaper all day. No he doesn't even like wearing a diaper because he's proud to wear big boy pants. So my thoughts are, don't force at 15 months -- let her decide if she's ready and in the meantime let her use the toilet when she wants. You can encourage her to use the big potty, but let her think it's her idea for now. And like Iriz said, don't get frustrated if she doesn't meet your expectations. Good Luck :o)
