When Do You Begin to Introduce the Concept of Potty Training?

My son is 16 months old, and I just bought him a potty. I usually bring him in the bathroom with me during the day because there's no where else to contain him while I pee! Anyway, he mimicks me and squats, he won't poop in a diaper that's already wet, he won't sit once he's pooped in a diaper, and he brings me a new diaper if he's wet. These are some pretty good indicators that he may be interested in learning ABOUT the potty. I know 18 months is crazy young for a boy to potty train, please don't think I have any intentions of even...

How Do I Potty Train?

There are a lot of posts about potty training. I didn't see any about how to actually start doing it. My son has a great interest in the potty, so I would like to get started.

Potty Training - Training Pull-ups or Underwear?

I'm planning to start potty-training my 2 1/2 year old daughter this weekend. She has all the readiness signs. And I have already been taking off her diaper at random times and if it's not wet, I set her on our toilet seat and she goes pee without any problem. She also goes pee before her bath regularly. Anyway, I'm not sure which is better or more helpful to train - should I start using training pull-ups when I go full-force potty training or should I use toddler underwear so she actually feels like the situation is different than with...
