hi..do they have thier own lil potty? not the kind you put on our seat, they are painful for lil butts, and boys have a hard time going pee on them while sitting. Get them one thier size on the ground, and keep alil bowl of special treats in the bathroom ( choc/peanut butter morsels work great), something they do not get cept for when they pee/poop on potty. You can even start off with giving them one, just for trying, and work yer way to only when they go. and let them go when they need to thruout the day, but make certain times a routine, just so they don't have a choice but to at least try. That would be, before bed each nite, and maybe when they wake up in morn. Good luck :)
We used a kitchen timer, and called it the potty clock. We set the clock for 30 mins, when it rang, we sang "its potty time" and went into the bathroom. The girls would sit at first and not always peed, and we'd get up and reset the potty clock for another 30 min. We repeated this for about two weeks straight and it really worked for us. Never had an issue after that.
I had a developmentally delayed boy and I did not potty train him until age 4. It seemed to go smoothly at that age. Of course he did not have a younger brother. That may slow him down. He probably won;t do it unless you do the other one too. Just be consistent. If you know the clues that he has to go then take him each time. I sometimes took the poopie in his pants and diaper and showed him where it belonged and dumped it in right in front of him. I also got my husband involved so my son had a guy showing him and dad was cool to him then. With developmentally delayed and boys you just need to keep on reinforcing it. It may take longer but you'll get through this. Maybe you will need to create a reward system for both of them and a chart to let them see how they are doing. I know we had to use pictures to get my son in a routine and we put the routine on the frig and he would take each task and move it down to the finished task area of the frig. Plus he loved playing with magnets.
