revisiting potty training

Ok so whats a mom to do. Poor Will wants to potty train ( I think) but he just doesnt fully get the concept. Im totally ok with diapers I mean theres no rush i heard when boys are ready they will do it. After our unsuccessful attempt a few weeks ago i didnt think much of it but now he asks for big boy pants and will say pee pee or poo poo but when you sit him on the pot nothing so after about 5 minutes of sitting there we will pull our big boy pants up and then not 1 min later we have an accident. do any mommys out there have any pointers? He actually did pee pee in the potty yesterday once and poo poo today but i think that poo was a fluke seeing as he had already started in his diaper and said poo poo so i yanked it off and put him on the pot. Weve tried treats and toys and those dont seem to work so Im at a loss as to what to offer for an incentive?

Love the pic! For 2 and a half days Layla peed everywhere all day long! I continued to put her on potty every 30 mins or so... On the third day it was like a light bulb went off. I committed to being at home for 5 days and putting nothing but panties on her. If she wasn't showing progress by then we were going to wait and try later. Maybe give him a couple days... It's amazing how quick they go from having no clue to using the potty! Good luck!
