On pting your 1 year old...Actually she is a bit old... or young, depending on how you look at it.

My youngest is 6 months, he pees on demand, but has no way of asking, and very little ability to hold it. so we just take him when the older ones go, since he likes the self pride of being able to pee when we go, he tries to hold it, and occassionally succeds (yesterday he used 3 diapers, and a potty 6 times)

For a one year old, they are so used to ignoring the pee they have to unlearn what they learned. but it can work, patience of course is easier to recomend than to have! (I used to find excuses to stay in the bathroom, like brushing teeth, or clipping nails, then at least I saw him pee, and could point it out-my oldest, my DD and youngest got to learn as infants while I ECed)

On toys, do you have buliding blocks? I have never met a kid who bored of them! (duplos, or legos)
