I couldn't resist commenting--since you've read my blog about my daughter who never did anything according to the rules. #1 she proved that girls CAN be harder to train than boys---she was reading Laura Ingalls Wilder books years before she got out of diapers.
#2 she did get to college without diapers---although as you know, that took longer too. LOL

Thanks for the comment. Actually, I'm more stressed about having to convince the little guy to put a pull-up on each night, and the conversations with my mom :)

You've probably heard it before, and I guarantee you'll hear it again and again and again. Boys take longer than girls. Boys take so long you regret not buying stock in Huggies. Boys take so long that you buy wine in bulk instead.
My oldest son is 8 and still not not trained. His younger brother is almost five and still not night trained. I have made my peace with it, because the stress was killing me. The oldest also had trouble upon trouble with day training; the younger was trained in a couple months before he turned 3. The oldest is a dead-to-the-world heavy sleeper and that's why he doesn't make it through the night. I was the same way until I was almost 10...and there were no pullups then. LOL!
It'll be ok, but please (and you can flush this if it ticks you off, trust me, I would), please relax about this. He will pick up on your stress about it, and it'll stress him out, and it just spirals. Guess how I learned that? Yeah. It's also why I buy wine in bulk. LOL!
It'll be ok. Promise.
