How long do I let him sit there?

We are not actively PTing yet, but LO has occasional interest and has peed and pooped a couple times on the potty.  He sometimes will ask to go on the potty and we read him books. He would sit there all night if we let him. How long do I give him until we call it quits? I don't want to discourage him but I can't let him sit there forever....

TIA!

We let DS sit on the potty for quite a while in the beginning.  He would read books, draw with a crayon and a notebook, and play with a small magna-doodle type toy that we have.  Sometimes, we would have to say, "That's okay if you don't have to go potty right now.  We need to wash our hands so we can A, B, or C ..." and then try again a little later on in the day.  I think it's good that he doesn't mind sitting there for a while!
