It's been a fun four years since I last had to have these around the house....but alas it's time to bring the potty out once more.

Hopefully he takes to it as well as his sister. I am not confident.

How do you know when the kid is ready for this? We tried with ours when she was 22-23 months, and she was very distressed at the whole thing, we decided to lay off until she was less spooked by the potty. But lately she has been showing interest again - what’s the telltale sign to try this method again?

We did this at 2yr-1wk. He was always coming to the BR with us. Enjoyed flushing the toilet. He wanted to wipe us. Those were the signs we had. We had to be persistent in making sure we included him on all our "business"
