I just started training ds today. I am pretty sure he is ready, he asks to be changed right after a bm and tells me when he is going pee pee. so today i took him out of his diaper in the morning and told him that he didn't need diapers anymore and that he can tell mommy if he has to go potty. i put him on the potty every half hour or so. well we went through three pairs of pants in a few short hours. (right after he drank a large cup of water) i realized that he doesn't remember that he doesn't have a diaper on so for the afternoon i let him go without pants and he went in the potty everytime. so my questions are
1. is he ready even though he had so many accidents in pants?
2. if i have to go out (ie grocery) can i put a pull up on him?
3. what about naps and night? are diapers still ok?
i feel like since i started, i am going to go with it.

Lots of kids naked train. lol. Give him a while at home not wearing pants and I'm sure he'll catch on soon enough with pants. I'd go with it...the no accidents in the afternoon indicates that he is ready.

I tried both ways when going out. It depends on the kid whether or not they will abuse the pullup. lol. If you don't, just make sure the first place you go when you get to the grocery store is the bathroom.

Yup...I hung on to diapers at night and naps until just recently. I only switched when the kids started to get up out of bed to use the bathroom at night. Pullups don't hold as much pee as diapers, so there is that to consider as well. There are nighttime pullups, but they are more expensive than diapers, so that is up to you.

Good luck with your ds! :D
