Aaron is obsessed with underwear. He loves putting it on. While I am folding laundry he will try to put on two or three pairs on top of each other. I was thinking this was a sign that he was interested in potty learning, so I let him run around hin underwear from around 6 to 9 am. Unforunately he just likes the underwear, not the potty. He loves sitting on the potty and being sung to and read to, but he's figured out that this happens wether he actually goes pee or not. And the afterwords he can run away naked and pee in his brother's room, which is a great joke and creates a big mess, lots of commotion, and gets a huge reaction from his brother.

Jeremy too enjoys underwear, but generally just wearing it on his arm and giggling
About 15 years ago I knew a little boy who would show signs of needing to poo but could sit on his little potty for a full hour and not go. If you finally gave up he would walk a few feet and drop his load! Drove me absolutely nuts! The good news - he graduated from high school a couple of weeks ago and didn't have to wear a diaper under that robe!!!
We let our little one completely lead in the potty training. He got to choose if he wanted a diaper or underwear that day--no pressure--and no high pressure reminders to go potty, either. He started when he turned three and got potty trained with no drama a couple months after he started.
Thanks for all the encouraging comments. Its easy to get caught up in things that seem so "important" in the moment, but in the long run they are so fleeting.
