LOL. Caleb learned to flush the big potty and we have had to take the toilet apart SEVEN times and counting. He loves to put things down it. As far as his own little potty, he likes to sit his E.T. doll on it and tell E.T. to go potty but so far we have yet to have a real success on it. I know it will come. :) Lock up your potty! LOL.

I have not potty trained my own yet (my baby boy is not even born yet), but I helped potty train a couple little boys in my parents home growing up. One great tip my mom taught me in regards to helping these little guys learn to "aim" properly: Throw a couple pieces of Cheerios cereal or something else that will float in the toilet bowl that he can aim at...and make sure he stands on a little step stool or something. Little boys get a kick out of actually hitting it, and trying to make it sink. =) Have fun, and remember to keep a sense of humor. =) A funny tip…

However, he never seemed to go. So one day we poured a little water in while Maria was away and bunny was left sitting on the pot. You should have seen the look on her face when she came back and saw that bunny had used the potty. Not sure if that helped with her potty training at all, but it was fun.

As they get a little older, it seems they've gotten lazy and don't even try to aim anymore! UGH! Good luck, he may be VERY easy to potty train. I've found that I've had way more luck when it is partly their idea..... Honestly, it doesn’t seem to matter that I taught mine to aim.
