I remember being told by a carer at DS1s childcare centre that she was concerned that he didn't talk. I was also told by his kindergarten teacher that she thought he should repeat as he was "immature".
He is now 16 and excelling in school - talks rather eloquently, is mature, a great leader at his school and cadets, and (I say rather smugly) doing 2 units of specialist mathematics, chemistry and physics for year 11 & 12 and achieving great results.... not bad for an immature kid who didn't talk.
My thoughts: maybe he had nothing to say to you lady and, point me in the direction of a "mature" 4 year old!!!
Baby's and kids work to their own timelines.
Lastly: stop bragging about all that sleeping - I feel absolutely blessed to get 5 straight hours of sleep!!
i have a friend who has a son who sleeps like your son seems to, and he's an amazing little kid. I wouldn't worry. He just sounds like he likes to snooze! He'll drop one one day and you probably will wish he hadn't haha!
As for the fontanelle. They usdually close between 6 and 18 months. Give or take. I was at the other end of the spectrum to you and DS's closed when he was about 4 months so we had to do the whole Paed thing. He is just at the other end of average, and his head is still growing perfectly, so I wouldn't worry too much about that either
