When did you have them start standing up to pee? Liam is using a potty ring on the toilet right now. We're not seriously potty training yet, but he is peeing on the potty a few times a day, so I was just curious. I've heard about having them aim for cheerios in the toilet or whatever, but is that once they're older?

Re: ? about potty training boys
I didn't worry about it until peeing outside became necessary. Even though he can pee in the woods or off the boat like a champ, he still sits most of the time to pee inside. Even in public I like him sitting instead of standing, because when he stands he leans against the bowl and touches all sorts of nasty areas. At least when he sits it's just the seat.
And when he does stand, we don't worry about aim. He likes to make bubbles, so he automatically aims for the water.
