Is he ready to potty train?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I have a 17 month old boy, my first so I havent done this before. How do you know when they are ready to potty train? I read some sites saying to wait until they are 2 y/o because it takes less time. Lately my ds 'poops himself awake' a lot. He wakes up earlier than normal lately in the mornings b/c of a dirty diaper, also it happens when we try to put him down for a nap. I hear him 15 min later after just putting him down, he'll be wide awake b/c a dirty diaper. Should I start trying to just have a potty in the house for him to sit on during play time to get used to?

I've always heard, wait until they act like they want to. It probably wouldn't hurt to have a potty around, and show him how to use it if he shows interest in using it.
