So, I have decided to tackle potty training first, at least for now. If things go south, I can move onto the bed situation. Wyatt has shown a definite interest in the toilet, and even selected some big boy underwear at the store this week. We have had a lot of talks about it, read about it, etc. So, now I am opening it up to some advice. If anyone has tips or tricks that have worked, or not, please share...we probably won't give it a go until the weekend.

Things Are About to Get Uncomfortable
Why do I say this? Last night, hubby & I were discussing how it's about to be time to switch Monkey from the crib to a big boy bed, and from diapers to the potty. We have constant discussions about where we should start first, and with a baby coming in September it would be excellent to have both things worked out in plenty of time before #2 is here. Our problem? Things are very comfortable for us right now...don't hate me when I say this (please), but my kid sleeps in his crib from 7:30 PM until almost 8:00 AM every night, and naps from about 1:30 PM until typically about 4:00/4:30 most days - and has never tried to get out of said crib. Yes, you are thinking you wouldn't change anything either, right?

Leave him in that crib until he climbs out and builds a bed himself. And never talk about how long he sleeps again -- you'll ruin it.
As for potty training, we tried "training" our son when he turned 3 and realized after several days that we were spending more time training ourselves. A couple months later he announced one night: "Tomorrow I will wear underwear." And that was that. I'm sure we got lucky, but the experience told me that potty training works best (and easiest) when the child is ready.
