Hi C., This is typical of many little boys. He may not be ready. It is also a form of control. I agree it is annoying (I have 4 sons) You may have to let it go for a while and he will decide for himself. Does he know other boys his age who poop in the potty? You are right to not hold him on the seat, that could be harmful to the process. Some day you will look back on this. Each child trains in their own way. Even with experience it is touch and go. I am glad I am done with this stage, I even trained my grand children. (girls are easier) Grandma Mary
