Colden started showing signs of getting ready to be potty-trained over the past month or two.
He would tell us right after he went in his diaper...
He didn't want to sit in his dirty diaper...
He wanted to watch us go to the bathroom (fun times)...
He started using bathroom-related words (i.e. bathroom, potty, pee pee, poopies, wipe, flush)...
While Mike and I were proud of these steps towards using the potty, we weren't sure when to actually start the potty-training process. Colden answered that question for us. Colden and I were in the bathroom brushing teeth when all of the sudden he stopped and said, "poopy potty". He ran over to the toilet and started to take off his pants. I thought, why not? I'll sit him down and see what happens. He was on the toilet no more than 5 seconds and then he peed in the toilet!!!!! I don't know who was more surprised, me or Colden. :-)
Mike and I went out and bought him his very own toilet seat to fit on the toilet. He has yet to go again in the toilet, but he loves to try. Not sure we have entered the "active" potty-training stage just yet, but at least he's interested - and that's Step #1.
(Yes, his favorite part is to flush the toilet and watch the toilet paper "disappear")
