We are nervous -- our daughter was a dream when it came to potty training. Out of diapers and onto big girl panties when so many of our friends with children older than she were beginning to discuss potty training. But she was ready. All of the pointers you didn't write about were there. But we wonder about our boy, who is still an infant. But it is this advice -- wait till they are ready -- that helped us with our daughter, and we know will help us with him too. http://www.tahmari.blogspot.com/
