Regression


Reese has completely regressed in her potty training. After being perfectly trained for a month (rarely any accidents and usually dry overnight), she now never tells us when she has to pee - she just goes.

At first we thought we had to step up the excitement and motivation. So we tried various things, but without success:
- Stickers
- M&Ms
- Mommy acting very sad when she had an accident. Reese simply patted me on the back and told me, "It's no big deal, Mommy."
- Mommy acting very mad when she had an accident. Reese pouted a little, but it didn't change her behavior.

It's frustrating, but I'm trying not to overreact as I know regression is very common. And besides, it's difficult to stay mad/frustrated at this adorable little girl. We'll just keep trying.
