Time to Potty Train??

Coleton has been showing signs now for a few weeks that he might be ready for potty training! I know that normally potty training a boy works best at about 2.5 years but i was afraid if i didnt think about it i might lose my window of when he was interested! The first sign was he absolutely hates wearing wet clothes. He will immediately go stiff and throw a fit until i change him, even if it is a swimming suit. Second sign was he was telling me when he was messing his diaper, always fun to hear that! Third, he wanted to be in the bathroom anytime anyone was in the bathroom which is kind of uncomfortable for visitors! Last of all, he doesnt like to wear diapers anymore and starting to piece together how things works! The biggest sign for me was when i was about to put Hayden down for a nap the other day i saw Coleton take off his diaper. Knowing i would only be a minute putting Hayden to sleep i told him to stay on the tile so he would not pee on my carpet that was laid less then a year ago. Even though i had told him to stay on the tile i heard him in my room (which is carpeted)with in minutes of me being gone. I quickly layed Hayden down and walked out to see him like this (sorry if it is alittle to revealing for some, i figured all parts where covered!)... At least he knows how to keep my carpets from getting wet but i am definately getting rid of that tupperware! After reading up on how to potty train a little boy (which i have no idea) i decided to get the supplies needed to get started. We bought a potty chair online which he thinks he got so that he could sit and watch TV like Hayden does. He absolutely loves it!
He sits there with Hayden and thinks he is such a cool kid which hopefully will make this an easier training experience!
So the plan now is to see if i can figure out how to do it. I know it will be a learning curve for both of us but i am not in much of a hurry so we can take our time! Wish us luck!

Lol Leta loves to have potty time in front of the t.v as well. Our problem has been she started to show interest in potty training by 19 months! So for the past few months we have been working at it. On vaction she rocks and hardly has accidents, but at home she is fifty-fifty or better so I can't complain...Good luck :)
