Feel like I’ve failed, 2 year old still in nappies

DS is 2 years and 7 months.
He hates the potty and won’t entertain a toilet seat cover either.
We’ve tried to talk about him being a big boy, we’ve tried to make it into a game, we’ve bought books about potties and toilet training.

He’s very bright, he recognises every letter of the alphabet already and can tell us the correct phonic sound for each one. He can count 1-10 and recognise each number individually. His speech is fantastic.

So I’m not sure what more we can do?

Thanks for reading!

I have two children. One was dry from 19 months. The other is 4y5m and only just dry. I wouldn't worry

You haven't failed! Take the pressure off for now. My son wouldn't even sit on a potty until after 3rd birthday - then he was sorted in 2 weeks. They are all different.
