DS will be three this weekend. He's been doing great potty training and he's been out of pull-ups during the day and nap time for about 9-10 months. Overnights are still a work in progress.
This week, he's taken to peeing in his pants and tonight he pooped in his underwear. I was shocked. In all of our potty training efforts, he has never one pooped in his underwear or even in pull-ups. He had all of the accidents immediately following using the potty.
Nothing abnormal is going on at home or school, no upsets in routine, etc., so I am not sure what may be contributing to this regression.
Anyone else experience this? Have any tips or things I should be considering or thinking about?
DS is very verbal and intelligent (he can tell me he needs to potty in 4 different languages). When I talked to him about it, he just said he was sorry and didn't mean to do it. I'm at a loss.

I don't think it's anything to worry about. With my kids, it was 2 steps forward, 1 step back.
If you're concerned, you can always check with your pediatrician.

He may not want to turn 3 and be a big boy. My friend's youngest girl doesn't want to be anything but the baby when she is too old to be the baby. She refers to herself as the baby, uses the I am a baby excuse when something is hard. Perfectly understandable if he wants to be the baby and babies aren't potty trained. Someone may be telling him when he is three he isn't a baby and scaring him. Tell him he will always be your baby even when he is old. Find reasons for him to want to be a big boy like big boys get bunk beds or bikes.

I don't think its anything to worry about either.
3 year olds have just discovered they can be in charge of themselves.....and start saying "No" to everything.....just for effect.
We have one at home who won't eat.....We don't make a fuss... and like a lot of parents, just tell him that if he eats enough of his dinner he can have a piece of cake afterwards.
Try to turn it in to something positive... and give him a sticker or treat if he is dry for the day....and try not to overreact.

Was he busy playing or something? Some kids will put off going to the bathroom if they're engrossed in something and then can't make it.
