Need Help Answering One of "Those" Questions to 4 Year Old

My son recently asked me how he came out of my belly? I said we went to the Dr and he helped take you out. Then he asked if the Dr. cut him out of my tummy. The answer would have been very simple had I had a c-section. I always try to be honest with my kids. But, with this question, I am struggling with an answer that's appropriate for a 4 year old boy. The correct answer in my opinion is way TMI for a 4YO boy. Any advice?

Potty Training Question for Moms of 3-Year-old Boy Trainees!

If your little boy potty trained at age 3, at what POINT in the third year did he train? My son just turned three a few weeks ago. He's moderately interested but not overly interested in the potty and I haven't been able to get him to pee in it yet. I'm debating pushing it now vs. waiting three months or six months, but I'm curious what the spread is for boys? Just wondering if your boys were three, three and a half, or almost four when it all "clicked". Thanks! =)
