Thank you so much for all of your posts! It's definitely different for everyone, I think my DS won't be ready until he's 3 but I suppose I won't know if I don't try to explain it to him!

Lucy- that's great that your DS started himself! What a smart kid!

mickeyndan- LOL! I'd be worrying too if my DS wanted 'alone' potty time, considering he has a fascination with sticking his hand in the bowl now (ALTHOUGH he hasn't done it in a LONG time since I yelled at him) I'm sure he'll learn that it's yucky soon enough
