Selectively potty trained!

Any suggestions for a three and a quarter year old boy who is brilliantly potty trained at nursery (no accidents, goes by himself, tells keyworker that he needs a wee) but doesn't seem to bother at home? He'll quite happily have an accident and claim it's 'just water, not wee!' Poo is not a problem (for which I guess I should be grateful!), just wee. He drinks well (mostly water), eats well, is sociable, articulate and not badly behaved (for the most part!).

This is our second try at potty training. I called a raincheck earlier this year after we got to the same point. We started again because DS announced that he wanted to be 'nappy free'. We are open about poo and wee at home, reward dry success with choc buttons and don't make a big deal out of accidents. Any new thoughts gratefully received!

What do you do when he has an accident? Have you told him that it isn't water, it's wee, and that it's not nice for you to have to clear it up all the time?
