We haven't "officially" started the potty training, but we did go and buy a big-boy potty several weeks ago. Auntie Patty doesn't think Ryan is quite ready so since we don't know any better, we're waiting for her to give us the green light. And really, if the truth be known, I trust her motherly instincts more than mine.
But whatever motherly instincts I DO have, tell me he's close. For example, he's no longer terrified of the regular potty whenever we flush it. And once in a while he wants to give it a go. Most of the time he just sits for a few seconds and declares "it's not working" and then he gets up. But today, he kept telling me he had to go pee pee and so we ventured off to visit the frog (aka the big boy potty). He sat forever and was really trying my patience because he wouldn't sit still - he wasn't peeing but he kept insisting on staying put while being as active as a little boy sitting on a toilet can be.
If this video is any indication, we might be in for the long haul whatever that means.
post script: by the time I had taken this video, we had been sitting in the bathroom for a VERY long time so my patience was worn THIN. And the reason why I keep asking him what he's doing is because just a minute ago, he said in the cutest little boy voice: I'm sitting on my big boy potty like a big boy! So much for trying to recreate cuteness.
