I have a son with DS who turned two in April. We have purchased a seat and he has gone twice, but just by chance :) If you have any advice on what's working and what's not please let me know. Your article was helpful. How has the training been going?

Some of the kids in their class are already well on their way and I'm gunshy as well! I bought Hunter a potty and he'll sit on it, but won't go. I think it's more of a toy for him. One of my best friends has a boy Cade's age. He's potty-trained but it did take awhile. What they did was just take him to the potty every 30 minutes or so over the course of a weekend. Once he actually went in the potty a few times, he knew what it was and recognized his feeling of having to go. I need to get Hunter started, but it is so intimidating. Let me know what works for Cade! ~Erica Smith Since Hunter is in Cade’s class, I know what you mean about wanting to get them potty-trained.
