PT day 2 is not off to a good start

We gave up on pants/underwear yesterday and just had him go bare bottomed because we couldn't tell if he peed until he was already done. Color change underwear would be a truly awesome invention. He tends to not go in large volume all at once but would be peeing regularly on the potty at least once every 30 minutes, in addition to accidents in between. I expected that there will be lots of accidents initially but I'm wondering if the very frequent peeing is a sign that he's not ready. At daycare though, they say he stays dry between changes (~2 hrs). And while he normally is willing to go when he wakes, this morning, he was fighting tooth and nail. No amount of asking, bribery, going myself was going to encourage him to go. He's barebottomed again now and we'll see where the day goes but I'm trying to get a feel for understanding how to tell if this is normal and we'll succeed if we keep going, or if he truly isn't ready and not to force it.

See we kept the underwear on because what kid wants to sit in wet underwear?  That way they learned that when they peed themselves, it wasn't too comfortable, and they didn't really want to do it anymore.  How old is he?  If he's fighting it, what's the point of doing it...I'd wait a little while.

He settled down and stopped fighting, so we may just have had crabby kid in general having just gotten up. So far the rest of the morning has gone better so we're still going, but I have no idea how the day will go.
