Subject: my almost 4 year old isnt potty trained! help!

he will sit on the potty for bowel movements, but he is always semi-constipated, so we have advanced warning. about a year ago, he was #1 trained during the day, but he regressed after i had a baby. i've tried positive reinforcement and bribing and he doesn't respond. i've tried leaving him naked and letting him pee on himself, but it doesn't seem to bother him. he will tell me "i have to go potty" after he has begun peeing. i try not to worry too much about milestones (he was a late walker and he got his teeth late), but this one worries me. he is supposed to go to a new preschool this year and is supposed to be potty trained, but they said they would work with me. what should i do? should i lay off of it for a while and try again later? i know he won't walk down the aisle in pullups, but it's frustrating.
