Kylie, my DS was like that, would go fine doing wees in the toilet but would not have a bar of doing a poo and would wait for his night nappy to be on. I think for him it was embarrasing because of the smell, kwim? and that people would *know* that he was doing a poo. He got to the stage where he didn't do one for 4 days and we just plied him with fruit and juice to loosen it up for him and I jsut sat around watching for signs that he was ready to do one and quickly grabbed him and put him on the toilet. He was so backed up and busting to go that he couldn't hold back if he tried LOL. Once he did the first one he was fine after that and it wasn't a problem for him since.
Oh I can so relate to these stories! DD was exactly the same up until she turned 3, and no matter what we tried including prune juice, incentives, etc she refused to do a poo unless in a pull up. SHe would hold on for days at a time and do stinky farts and refuse to admit that she needed to go. One day she accidently did one on the toilet when she went to the toilet with one of her friends and friends mum and she was so proud of herself. After that she slowly came to the realisation that it was ok to do one on the toilet.
Oh we were pulling our hair out at times, but she never once had an accident in her undies or anything. She just did not want to do one on the toilet. I hate to say it but it is simply a matter of time.
