2. When is it reasonable for them to start wiping themselves? DS is nearly 3.
3. For Mums of boys, DS has great aim and never gets wee everywhere. Do they all go through phases of being really messy, or is it safe to assume he'll always be good about aiming?

1. normal toilet paper for the first wipe or two then they can us a sorbent wet wipe
2. I keep encouraging them to wipe themselves and I just check and give it a wipe if needed after around 3ish from memory
3. Aim gets worse as they get taller and the margin of error increases. Particularly the first in the morning quick one tends to spray and mess more, as do the "I just want to go back and play quickly" or the "Someone is talking to me and I won't watch what I'm doing"
