Ready for the next step?

Splasher has been acting rather strange lately. Don't know what to make of it all.

We bought him a training potty a few months ago with the idea that if we put it in the bathroom, he would get used to it being there and knowing that that is where it belongs. It has worked so far. Sometimes he'll follow us in there and sit down on his "potty" even when he has no one to model after, like when I'm doing my makeup or hair. The other day he put both of his feet in the bowl part though and I thought "Wow. We're really getting nowhere." But, today we went into the bathroom and he pulled at the tabs of his diaper and patted the top of his toilet. I said, "Okay, [Splash.] Let's go." So he did. I am so excited. I think this is going to be a logn process and who even knows if he'll do it again for some time but I think it's a step in the right direction. I would be thrilled if he was potty trained by 20 months or so!!! But no pressure!
