POTTY TRAINING ADVICE IM AT A LOSS

Dec 08, 2009 10:40am (EST)

ok my oldest son is 2 and a half now and was born at 33wks and 4lbs he has just recently started saying a few words and can put some words together to form short sentences BUT the problem is i would like to start potty training him which is fine he does ok for about thirty minutes sometimes a hour or two he doesnt soil himself or pee on himself BUT he doesnt use the potty either im at a loss for how to even begin to train him i have spent money on underwear because i believe pull-ups are just a waste of money (personal choice) everyone says oh he should be potty trained but he was a preemie and a very small one could it be a delay from being a preemie why he isnt ready?any advice is welcome also the picture attached is i guess a jealousy issue he climbed inside ethans bassinet and fell asleep
