My tact on potty training was to let the child do it themselves. It would be their idea, and all their effort. My wife kind of rebeled against this idea, but in the end she lamented. Our chidren both pretty much potty trained themselves in about three days, with out accidents, and no agony on our part. Both did it right around their third birthday.
I promise, don't push it. Let them sort of take the lead. A slight mention every so often, then leave it alone. They will suprise you.
And remember, all kids are potty trained before kindergarten. So don't sweat it.
