PEE PLEASE!

Ok, seriously, I am loosing sleep over potty training. Joseph is going to be 5 in three months and he has not peed on the toilet once, never, nada! We have been at this since he has been 18 months and there has not been one single trickle. We've been to the pediatricians a trillion times and even drove through countless snowstorms to take him to a highly qualified child psychologist at Syracuse University. And the answers are all the same - he'll do it when he's ready and not before. Gregory turned 2 in September and by January, he was potty trained, Luke has been sitting on the potty since he could sit up (because of Joseph) and is now pretty much trained, but not consistent. Luke has gone to the wayside because we are so focused on Joseph. We have tried all the tricks, not stressing about it, ignoring it, regularly scheduled trips to the bathroom - he'll sit on the toilet and will all day at preschool just - you guess it- won't fire the hose! I've put cereal in the toilet, ran the water, set the timer and my lastest try, made a potty chart. We've begged, yelled, bribed, ignored, fought, screamed, put the whole training process under cover for a few months, but nothing is working. We go back to the pediatricians on Friday. Oh yeah - I can even put him in underwear all day - he holds his pee, just won't let it come out!
