R.D.
I am in the same boat with my 2 1/2 yr old boy. For about a year now he has followed me to the potty while I go (he says help mommy and hands me toilet paper...although I would rather have these few minutes tomyself! LOL). Then I bought a seat that attaches to the regular toilets so he could get used to seeing it. About 6 months ago I started asking if he wanted to use the potty. He always said no. I did not push it. Then about 3 months ago he asked to use the potty. I put him on. Nothing happened but that is okay. A few months went by and he never asked again. Now he has just started asking again. He sits on the potty at least twice a day. Sometimes he does pees and sometimes he doesn't. I don't push it.
My only problem right now is getting him to keep his clothes on! He thinks he has to be completely naked when he uses the potty. I don't know why. Its not like other people in this house are naked when they use the potty. He just has it in his head that his clothes have to be off. One habit I will have to break before we start using potties in public! LOL
