Don't sweat potty training. It can become very frustrating if you have a goal in mind but as long as you remind yourself that he won't be piddling in his pants when he's 12, it puts it in perspective.
J was amazing. He was just over 2 and it took me and him alone in a room for 9 days (or maybe 8). I was almost driven insane in the first 6 days but then it suddenly all came together.
M was totally different. I didn't take the time off to do it; we just did it gradually and it's taken her ages and ages. She still wets herself fairly frequently and she's 3 and a half now. Still, as long as there are clean knickers in the cupboard it's ok.
I believe kids like creche. Mine do anyway; they're gregarious little souls and they love other kids. They've learned plenty of social skills and table manners, which helps when we eat out, which we do a fair bit. I love my kids but I love that they're independent little beings with opinions of their own. They tell us who did what, who they played with, what they've done with their day. It's fab. The only thing I've been a bit narked about is J picking up stuff (nonsense in my opinion) about Jesus and heaven and he's got that from school, not nursery.
