Sarah will be 10 in September and still isn't fully potty trained. 
She is certainly capable in every way of using the potty independently. Now for our success story..........
Until 9 days ago, Sarah had only pooped on the toilet a few times and those were times we caught her in the middle of the act. She always acted afraid to poop on the toilet although she will urinate on the toilet without a problem.
My sister-in-law suggested that we try the Brazilian style of potty training. We kept her at home as much as possible and did not allow her to wear pants or panties. Would you believe that in the nine days we have tried this she hasn't had one accident? ;D The best part is that she has initiated going to the bathroom, we haven't had to remind her or anything. She still needs us to help wipe but other than that she is doing fantastic! ;D
We still have to make the transition back to panties and pants. I think we will wait until she is firmly established in using the potty before I reintroduce clothing. I was thinking I would let her wear loose shorts in the house starting in August and hopefully by the time school starts in September she will be fully potty trained.
We are thrilled! ;D

I'm beginning to get desperate enough to try it on Stevie, too, but the boys are likely to ruin the thing with all their giggling...
