getting ready to start potty training, after much waiting...

ds is 3 (and a few weeks) and i think he's ready. even though he only sometimes tells us he has to wee and when he's wet (he's been wearing those 'feel wet' nappies for 2 weeks now and regular pampers at bedtime.) he's yet to actually do anything in the potty yet (well the toilet, we're using one of those inserts.)

we bought a load of underwear for him this weekend (around 20 pairs?, am i going to need more in the beginning? be honest!!)
and on this tuesday, i'm thinking about just putting him in the underwear and hoping for the best. i know they'll be accidents and all that, but about now, i'm just not sure how else to get it started. (he sits on the toilet sometimes, for a minute or so, which we think is good, even if he doesnt do anything!)

please tell me i'm not mad for thinking about doing it this way. he's a clever kid and i think he'll pick it up quickly. (hope! hope! hope!)
