Definitely :) You can stop second, third, fourth guessing yourself now ;p
He is a smart kid and it won't confuse him :) I've been thinking back to when mine potty trained - when were in the house, nappy came off, pants and bottoms went on. Had a stack of little proper pants and bottoms (tracky bottoms etc) that were quick to wash and dry as there will be lots of accidents. If I went to the toilet I took them and the potty with me, and sat them on it while I was going. If they did something, fantastic (strike up the band, seriously :D) if they didn't, no problem. Always had the potty where they could access and see it, and would ask them fairly often (every 1/2 hour or so) if they needed a wee or what have you, usually sitting them on the potty anyway, if I felt they might need to go. Always sat them on it either before eating/drinking, and about 10-20 minutes after eating/drinking. Nappy on if we left the house. Nappy on if we had guests (in the early days - obviously once they started to understand, the nappy was left off then). Nappy for bed until we'd cracked the no nappy in the day. Also, a seat and step for the big toilet - I didn't wait until they cracked the potty before getting one and Jadzia actually preferred it over the potty when she was learning :)
