DS is 2.9. He likes playing with his potty, can pull up/down his own trousers and will tell me if he needs a wee or poo. The only thing he consistently refuses to do is actually use the potty. I am keeping it relaxed (just a light hearted query when he tells me he needs a wee), but it's always met with NO! He has seen other kids at nursery use the potty, so he definitely knows what it is for.
What next? Leave it, try an intensive training weekend, put him in pants..? I have already tried bribery with chocolate buttons and stickers. I really don't want to turn this into a battle of wills as he can be very stubborn and it could lead to hang ups about the whole process.
My other problem is that DC2 is expected in May and I may not have the time I need to spend on training DS once s/he is born.
