Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but probably you should have waited until after the holiday to start

How old is he? How long was he training for before you went away? And what stage had he got to?

My DS2 was keen too - it really helps when they have older ones to copy doesn't it!

I would go back to basics. Start with just the potty (is he having accidents with potty or just with toilet?)

You may need to go back to the reminding him stage for a bit (rather than waiting for you to him tell you when he needs a wee)

Maybe he feels he has too much to remember at the moment, and if you just go back to the beginning it will all come back to him.

Hope this helps x
