We wisened up and realized it was way too soon for potty training.

For now, we'll just let him run and get the diapers, and continue to show him where the bathroom is. Until then, I'm OK with changing a few, but only a few, dirty diapers.

Landon is 19 months old and is without a doubt the cutest monster on our block. He's been talking for a few months now, and a few days ago, he came to us and said, "I poo" and pointed to his diaper.

My wife looked at me and said, "Looks like we'll need to start potty training him."

My response was similar to Landon's, "Awe crap."

Now that he knows when he's done No. 1 and No. 2, and he runs to his room and grabs a diaper, we think it's time to train him.

So just how do we potty train? We thought about buying a book at Barnes & Noble, but we just haven't made the trek. Does anyone have advice? I've got so many questions.

I remember my dad teaching me how to ride a bike, but I don't remember anyone helping me learn to use the bathroom.

Plus does anyone have any tricks for helping him hit the target. My wife would probably like for me to learn to hit the target once in a while, too.

I know practice makes perfect but I have a feeling we'll have quite a perfect mess on our hands until he figures it out.
