Potty Post- You've been warned
Hannah is... well, she's regressing and can't or won't make it to the bathroom on time.
It usually, but not always, happens when she's wearing her dress-up dresses, probably because they are a hassle to go to the bathroom in.
Today, she wet her pants and we had a talk.
Me: Hannah, where do we go to the bathroom?
Hannah: The toilet.
Me: So where are you going to go the next time you need to go potty?
Hannah: (enthusiastically) The toilet!
Hours later, Hannah had a mess in her pants. I hope you know what I mean when I say "mess". I was shocked. I can't remember the last time she did that.
We had another talk.
Me: Hannah, where do we go poopy?
Hannah: In the toilet.
Me: Are you going to tell mommy and daddy when you need to go so we can make it to the toilet?
Hannah: Yes! (exits bathroom)
Me: Good, because we are running out of underwear.
Hannah: No, we're just walking...
How do we help her be a potty champ again? (OK, terrible title)
Any suggestions?

I hope you get it all figured out, so when I have a three year-old, I'll know who to talk to! Good Luck!
When our little girl regressed multiple times in a row, it was because she had a urinary tract infection, so don't rule out illness.
And then other times, she'll "regress" for no particular reason, and we just chalk it up to "she was just having too much fun to stop and pee" or "jeez, she is only two and a half after all."
It can be frustrating, though, I know!
no we are just walking!!! Hilarous.
