Signs of PTing readiness?

LO will tell us when he goes poop/pee and asks for diaper change. Poop is regular/similar time each day.

He will sit on toilet from time to time, but never long enough to do anything. 

If in underpants/naked, he can hold his pee up to 3-4hrs depending on how much he's had to drink. Doesn't pee during naps, and has even waken up from nighttime dry on occasion.

He knows words for pee/poop/potty and can take his pants off/on (although he often needs help getting them totally up). 

My H says oh he's so young, he's not even two. But IMO he's showing signs and eager to stay clean. I want to jump on it if he's ready.

What do you BTDT ladies think?

    Go for it! If he's not ready, try again in a few weeks.

    If he's ready to go, then go! I dont think it matters what age the kiddo is; if they're showing signs, jump on it. I have a friend whose LO is under two and shows the same signs as your LO. Her LO is on day 5 of PT and doing fantastically.

    My little man is two and a half years old and is fully potty trained, he has been since he was 2. We actually started him at about a year and a half because he was interested in the potty and sitting on it. He didn't like to be wet either. Pooping took a little longer but he caught on pretty fast. I would say if you think he is ready, try it.

    My son started at about your son's age. By the time he turned 2, he was waking up dry from every nap and every morning. I went straight to undies, and although at 2.5 he still has some accidents, he is about 90% on the potty. He tells me when he has to go, but needs help getting on. Go for it! If it doesn't work out, try again in a few months.

    He sounds ready, so go for it! He's not too young. Our DD just turned 2 and she wears either pull ups or underwear all the time. I can't remember the last time she dirtied either one during the day. And at night, she almost always wakes up dry.
