Silas Potty Training Update

Silas was doing so well there for a bit, and now he has decided he WANTS to poopoo in his diaper and not the potty, so I'm not sure what to do. I know what John Rosemond says I should do, and I feel his intense stare at times when I don't force my child to run around naked -- that picture of him on the back of the book is a little intimidating! I actually do have him diaper-less when I can, and at first that seemed to help tremendously, but for some reason, Silas has no interest in being naked and he treats underwear just like a diaper. We talk about being a big boy, and once he told me that he is not a big boy, he is a little boy. It was really sweet - so now I'm trying NOT to rush him and I'm imagining him as an 8 year old and imagining me longing for when he was 2.
