Hi E.,
In my opinion they are still to young, they are only 18 months but it depends on the indivdual child and not their age. I can not understand the reason why people are such in a rush to get potty training started and over and done with. In my opinion the child and the parent are better off to wait until the child is 2 1/2 to 3. Children learn to take off their clothes, this doesn't mean they are reay to dress themselves by themselves. Just because an 18 month old child learns to take off her diaper doesn't mean she is ready to potty train either and just because the diaper is wet, thats the whole point of the diaper.
My advice wait till 2 1/2 and look for their individual signs. These 2 children are individuals and should be treated as such. I hav never rushed any of 3 children to potty train and have never had a problem, I have a 7 month old little girl and I will be waiting until she is between 2 1/2 tp 3 to start potty training, I will also be looking for her indivdual signs like all the other 3 children, I have potty trained 5 children in my daycare and have started at this age and had them potty trained in a week including the boys.
