I posted this in Baby Bump a few years back. I'm not sure if this will help but I thought I'd pass it along:

He can verbalize or show you in some way that he needs to go, not just that he's already gone.

He starts to hide or stands/ squats in place to poop.

He starts having bowel movements at the same time each day.

He starts to wake up from bedtime and naps with a dry diaper.

He shows an interest in going potty and does not have a fear response when placed on the potty.

Once these milestones are reached it's time to start. I block out a week to be at home with no major outings. Though it usually takes less time. Make sure that anyone caring for your child knows that you have begun the process. If you are a working mom it's best to start when you have a couple days off at home and let his daycare know that you are actively training. Some kids respond well to lots of excitement and praise, others become frightened or overstimulated by the pressure to "perform". Decide what level of enthusiasm is best for your child and go from there.

In my experience, I have found this to be the least stressful and quickest way to approach potty training. Let me know if you have any questions. I hope this helps!
