We are now in the midst of the world of potty training. Dominic has always been very interested in this although he is not quite ready to do "it". His infatuation with the potty began when we introduced him to "Elmo's Potty Time" by Sesame Street. That was about 1 year ago - long before we planned on potty training him. Our thinking behind this was as follows: plant the idea in his mind that this is what he should be doing and he'll just do it! Not so much. Though he knows every song on this hilerious DVD by heart he is still not "going poo poo and pee pee in the potty". Mind you, he is not even 2 1/2 yet but I am growing weary of the "two kids in diapers" thing. However Dominic has found a way to take off his pants, strip off his diaper and sit on the toilet with magazine in hand and of course, the fan must be turned on as well! I must say it takes diligence, effort and consistency to put him on the potty each time he thinks about it, yet I faith that one of these days Dominic will catch on. For those of you who have gone this road before us, we appreciate the thoughts and prayers!

All I can say is hang in there and don't stress too much about it. It sounds like you are approaching this really well already. On our first kid we were way too pushy.
