Potty Training

I am wanting to potty train Austin soon.  Does anyone have any great ideas?  I have heard....
have him go naked and then when he starts to pee, put him on the toilet
sticker chart (I don't think he would go for that one)
treats (but how do you not pump him full of candy just to get out a drop of pee?)
He is interested in the toilet.  We have a potty seat and a toilet seat thing that he can sit on the "big potty".  I was just looking for some help.  Bradyn was so easy to potty train and for some reason I don't feel that this kid will go as smoothly.  Suggestions please.

Bradyns glasses


Bradyn recently got glasses.  Nate and I were a little nervous about it but Bradyn was actually excited.  There have been many kids that say they like his glasses and there was even a little girl in his primary class today that said she wanted glasses like his.  I guess they are a big hit after all.  He looks so cute in them.  (Don't mind the messy face in the first picture.  We were eating cherries.  It's a good look for him though.)

Washington DC

The boys and I went to Washington DC for ten days to pick up "Aunt Kiera" from her mission.
The DC temple is beautiful!!  My mom, my sister, and I had the chance to do intiatories there.
We went to the Air and Space Museum.  Austin loves planes so he was especially interested in it.
We stayed at my mom's best friends house in Maryland for three days.  She has a pool that has natural spring water in it.  Bradyn was swimming with the frogs.  He kept track of this particular frog the whole three days were were there.
Austin had fun swimming too.  My kids love the water (a little too much)
