So I'm of the thinking that I never want to 'push' my child into anything. Yes, sometimes there will come along a situation when the child needs a push - but when it comes to potty training, there's no point in rushing things if he's not ready.
Well, we bought him a potty several months ago just so he could get used to the idea of it being there and it being his. Every now and then he'll sit on it while mommy or daddy potties (sp?), but it's just been 'there'. Lately he's been pulling his pants down and sitting on it. Then he asks for a wipe and "wipes" his diaper! Last night, he was actually walking around the kitchen with his pants pulled down around his ankles saying he had to potty. As I was cooking, hubby takes him to potty. He actually took the boy's diaper off and let him sit on it bare butt. And he peed!!! Just a dribble, but still!! The first time he ever peed in the potty.
I have no notions that this means he'll just jump into potty training right away. But, hey - it's a start!!

you just never know but your right about not pushing it. you dont' want them to get a bad idea about potty time and take even longer. i would just encourage it when he asks so that he doesn't stop but let him do it in his own time.
