After a failed (weak) attempt to finally get Emmett out of pull-ups, I consulted with my friend/relative Amber who gave us a great idea! Amber, maybe you should be a teacher or something???? ;-)
We put him in underwear and just went for it - yes, it was a little messy for a couple days. I also made him a sticker chart, called "Emmett's Potty Train". (When we started talking to him about potty training he thought we meant a choo choo train....) He got one sticker for pee and two for poo. For every ten stickers (only five at the beginning) he got to pick a wrapped prize (candy and dollar store items). Once he filled the whole chart he got to pick a wrapped BIG prize. The whole thing worked great! It only took him about five days to fill the chart, but we were good to go by then, so I didn't make another one. We put a pull-up on him at night, but he's been dry for two nights, so maybe we're good at night too!
