    Sort of the same here. Starts reception in SEp though was born on Sep 19th so will be one of oldest.

    So far at least he asks for a nappy on when he wants to do a poo.

    Generally boys are later to potty train than girls.

    In our area we have a continence nurse and get free nappies. For aged 4+. Its a large help.

    We had the GingerKid(tm) sleeping through the night quite quickly, but he still got up early in the morning and was raiding the kitchen cupboards. He figured out the child-proof catches quickly enough so we had to invite a GROAK to live in the cupboard nearest the kitchen door. The fear of having his fingers eaten off has kept him out of the kitchen for a year or more now.

    Now all we need to do is get him using the loo for solids ..... ffs he starts school in September!

    thanks to letterland he now knows all his letters - he picked them up over the last week. Shame that letterland died a death - I think it is brilliant.

    just a pity he can't get the potty training really - I suppose he will do it when he is good and ready.
