ds weeing for attention!

Has anyone got any tips to get ds1 (2 yrs 11months) to please stop weeing for attention, it's exasperating! DS2 arrived 4 months ago and we expected regression with ds1's toilet training and boy we got it! We've tried everything: reward charts, enthusiasm, cheering, taking him every 1/2 hour as we did in the beginning of his training, telling off, getting him to help clear up the mess, almost pleading with him to stop weeing on the floor and go on the toilet. He knows what he's doing, and he knows how to go to the toilet as he will also do this happily but it's a 30/70 split (the 70 is wetting his pants). At nursery he will announce his intentions of weeing on the floor and make a show of it. At home he will wait until I am bf DS2 and then let loose. He loves his new brother and talks about him positively so I'm not too worried. Just really really fed up of mopping up wee and washing pants. :-(

Do you have a carpet? If not I suggest that you totally ignore him when he does it. Let the wee sit there and don't react at all. Clean it up when he's not present. If there's no result...ie you getting annoyed and having to clean up...he'll get bored of it.

I had a mindee do similar - once he sat on my knee at a playgroup song time - a minute after I had asked him if he needed to go - and he weed on me. I was so upset.
what worked for him was me ignoring him. If he did it I would change him without talking to him and take my time so that he would be bored. I had the advantage that he knew he was missing out on playing with the other mindees due to having his clothes changed.
this happened when his mum was pregnant and also when the baby was born. as much as your little one loves his brother he is still taking attention away from your eldest.
