moms - potty training help
So, R will stay dry ALL day. he'll tell us when he needs to go, he'll tell the sitter when he needs to go, he is usually dry after nap and sometimes even in the morning. This is all great....except he won't poop on the potty 
Poor thing didn't go at all yeserday and his belly was hurting today. He finally went (3 times now)...but each time was in his pull up. We try to tell him to go on the potty,but he said that pee is for potty's.
Any tips on getting my little guy to go #2 on the potty??
Re: moms - potty training help
He's just over 2.5 (will be 3 in early July).
I wasn't going to push the potty thing until summer since we're having baby #2 within the next few weeks...but he took an interest in the potty and we went with it because he did so well.

"Cheese!"
He gets 2 smarties for going pee on the potty. We're trying to tell him he'll get MORE smarties for going poop, but that's not working.
I'm thinking a sticker chart or something...maybe I'll try that tomorrow.
I liked PP's idea of letting him pick the cool underwear or something. Seems practical, and that way I'm not buying a bunch of crappy toys!
I switched right to underwear when he started staying dry overnight. no pullups, and no potty chair either, he wanted to use the big potty right away. he hated the feeling of poop in his pants and I just kept reminding him it wouldn't be that way if he "put his poop in the potty, not in his pants!" I got him all excited about it and asked him every half hour if he wanted to put some poop in the potty lol. sounds weird but it worked when he thought about it that way, and he caught on in a weekend.
Haleigh helped too, she told him he was going to big-kid school and they only wear underwear and put all their poops and pees in potties lol. that got him all excited to be a big boy. good luck!
