recommend your potty training book

So we've had a potty downstairs for a while so C is used to it.  Once in a while, he'll sit on it, the other times he'll "drive" it around the house.  Well now when I go pee, he wants to go in and sit on his potty.  Awesome!  But he doesn't want to sit on it with a bare butt.  I'm trying to follow his lead, but I don't want to miss any window that he's giving me, nor do I want to be too forceful and make him be anal retentive (isn't that Freud's theory?)  Anyways, can you ladies recommend any good literature that I can check out?  TIA!

    Let him sit on it with his clothes on. Give him a book or a toy and let him get used to it. Talk to him about big boys sitting down and pee peeing into the potty and not diapers. Try doing some naked time if its warm enough so when you go his pants are already off. We also pretend with toys that they're going potty.

    It's probably weird and feels wrong that when they go its been neat and contained and now all of a sudden they're supposed to just let it go into a big bowl.

    Thanks Lopes, good idea about using his toys to go potty.  It's not quite naked weather, but this weekend it's supposed to be in the 70's!  We can try it then
