As with many kids his age, Ant has successfully peed on the potty a few times, but no longer seems interested at all. However, he finds peeing in the bath highly amusing.
Last night I got in the bath with him (as I do fairly frequently), and he was saying as he climbed in, "My pee in the bath!". I asked him, "How about if you pee on the potty", and asked Mark to put him on there, however, that was completely unacceptable. So he got in the bath.
Stood there for a couple of seconds, and then sure enough, out came the stream, to peals of laughter. (his, not mine). Came quite close to my leg, so I said, "No peeing on mommy!" and moved him out of the way.
At which point he stopped peeing, walked closer to me, aimed at my leg and started up again.
No more doubt about whether he has bladder control, if he can start and stop at will like that! I guess we have to work on peeing in the potty being more amusing than peeing in the bath or on mommy.

What about putting cheerios in the potty to aim at? A little water in the seat and cheerios - what more fun can be had?! :-)
Oh, that little rascal! I like S's idea about the cheerios, and was going to suggest a target thingy I'd seen in the one in One Step Ahead catalog (Tinkle Targets). I've also seen little cornstartch floaty things (think packing peanuts) that people use. There is also a light-up target that helps little boys learn to "aim" better, it lights up when they lift the lid.
Did you ever think you'd want something like this crazy stuff before you had a kid?! ;-)
