Potty Time with Elmo (& his doll called baby David i.e. Elmo teaches baby David to go to the toilet). As well as a book, it has buttons to push that make noises for - toilet paper, washing your hands, flushing the toilet and 'hooray' if they've done their 'job'. This button I made a 'special' button that my DD could only touch if she did a 'job' on the loo....hehehe. The book also talks about Elmo getting to wear 'big-kid underpants'.

Books have definitely made a difference for me. The Elmo book only lived in the toilet and was only ever read in the toilet, so if she wanted to read it, she had to sit on the toilet.

Good luck. Oh, and I got the book from K-mart - it's a hardback.

I've started with Steph, and I think the best book I have come across (so far) is Early Start Potty Training by Linda Sonna.
Steph is almost ten months, and sometimes will have a totally dry nappy in the morning. Sit her on the potty, and if she needs to go, she'll go. My Mum got her up the other morning so I could stay in bed, and didn't say anything to Steph as she sat her down on the potty, and she did all her business. We have a lots of 'hits', but we also have a lot of 'misses' (but I don't have her getting around in the nude, I'm not that enthusiastic about mopping up puddles all day). I really wish I had started so much earlier. Good luck.
