My daughter doesn't make me follow her anymore, but she does make me go see the pee in the potty. Sometimes I would just say good job or 'in a minute' if I'm busy. She doesn't tell me much anymore. What does he do if you don't come with him? can you take him to the bathroom and then close the door behind you to show he should have privacy? My daughter isn't 2 yet, but she likes some privacy (just doesn't like giving us any). If nothing works, it doesn't hurt anything to have to follow (just gets annoying). Hang in there! I'm sure he will start going on his own at some point.
