DS2 is 20 months and for the past month has been asking to go on the potty. He pees on it multiple times a day and has pooped on it a few times. He can pull his pants off, but his language skills are still pretty limited. I'm rolling with it, but wondering if I should do anything else....?
Our older son had some periods of interest and used the potty sometimes as a younger toddler, but didn't potty train until just before 3.
Any potty training experience with young toddler boys?

@winniebee: My older boy potty trained at 23 months but his speech was behind so he really couldn't tell us. What worked was taking him to the bathroom frequently while we were out of the house and keeping a potty in the living room and having him go around without any pants at home. My younger boy was probably ready before 2 but we just decided to go with what worked with LO1 so we waited until right when he turned 2 because it was too cold for him to be half naked all the time before then.
Good luck!!!

@winniebee: maybe he's trying to go easy on you after all of the sleep crap he put you through the first year?! 
i'd go with it, and whenever you have a good weekend/feel ready, make the switch!
