Potty Training

We are no where near ready, but I wanted to ask advice from some of the best moms I know. When you started potty training your boy, how did you approach the matter, and did you use a potty chair, snap on seat, or neither? I am just trying to get a "heads-up" on a few ideas.

Mills is starting to realize that a full diaper is uncomfortable, and is waking up early (way too early!) for a diaper change. Not only that, after breakfast this morning, he walked up to me and said it...yep! He said those two little magic words, "poo poo." So, up we went for a diaper change. He will kill me for this one day, but hey, this is a mommy blog, and I am allowed to be over informative at times. I know...TMI, right? Hopefully within the next 6 months, we can get a small start on the issue, as I don't think he has any clue that the potty exists, but we'll get there, one day! I know that boys are harder to train than most little girls, and that they usually start later as well. I will take any advice offered! Thanks!
