Haha, pulling off the diaper! I know
those days! Well, he may or may not want
to be potty trained. Some toddlers love
being undressed and run around naked and
that's all. However, there isn't anything
that says you shouldn't try: especially
when he already has his pants off...one
step you don't have to go through lol.
Most kids usually aren't ready until after
they are 2 and usually boys take a little
longer to learn, but every child is
different too.
Just introduce it to him slowly and see
how he feels about it. Don't pressure him,
or it will take longer to train him. Here
is a link that has some guidelines to help
you.

You can always go ahead and buy a potty
chair. Don't be so intent on him really
using it though. You can let him sit on it
and just get used to the potty kinda. I
wouldn't really start pushing it too much
until he's at least 2 years old though.
Another sign we look for before telling
parents to try their child in underwear at
the daycare is staying dry for long
periods of time. You can try sitting him
on the potty if that happens and just see
what he does.

If you are into videos at all, I highly
recommend Bear in the Big Blue House's
Potty Time video. It is ten times better
than the Elmo one. I know Amazon carries
it online. Or there's always Ebay.
