The potty "train"

This morning, hopefully, marks the beginning of a successfully potty-trained little man. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing! It's like I'm adventuring into unchartered territory here... but every mom has to do it, right? I've read a lot of advice; here's a checklist for our patched-together method.
-Potty, big-boy underwear, and Pull-Ups for naps and nighttime? Check.
-Cheez-Its, Teddy Grahams, animal cookies, and Nemo snacks (to make him thirsty, of course)? Check.
-Chocolate milk? Check.
-Kitchen timer set at 20 minutes, for dry checks? Check.
-Lots of fun shows on the DVR? Check.
-A train engine to hang on his bedroom wall, with cars to color and hang in succession each time he stays dry? Check.
-Lots of dollar-store treats for when he might actually go in his potty? Check.
Update later!
