Potty Training a Boy - Best Resources?

Hi Mamas - my little guy is 29 months old - definitely interested - he likes to pee in the toilet, and sometimes will ask me to take him to the bathroom. He's frustrated with the diaper, of course, and would rather be naked. And with the summer heat, he has a rash where the diaper meets the legs - it's not bad, but it's persistent.

Would love some books, video suggestions re. potty training, and remedies for heat rash are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

What can I do next?

Sounds like he's definitely ready! I just potty trained my 28 month old boy this week. We started last Wednesday- straight to undies. He's potty trained now. Underwear is the only way to make it go quickly. He had it down in two days (pee). He'll go poopoo in the potty if we remind him, but we're still having a few accidents. For the most part, he's daytime trained though, and had never gone in the potty before last week. Good luck and have fun!

Your local librarian should have suggestions of videos etc. Our potty training DVDs and books are highly used!

re videos, I just got the Elmo It's Potty Time DVD. Mine's only 24 months but he loves the video. Constantly asks to watch it and it's gotten him interested and willing to sit on the potty. There seem to really only be a couple of dvds out there and only about 3 or 4 really popular ones.
