My almost 3 year old was so easy (or so we thought)...
just pulled his pants down and made in the toilet...with only a couple of accidents..
so easy! but then, for some reason, he has started wetting himself.
constantly...

I am wondering if we gave him a complex because we got a bit upset over an accident
or whether since we aren't doing cartwheels every time he makes anymore the thrill is gone (I suspect this...)
so what do I do...go all the way back and start giving treats for making in the potty? But this seems elementary for him?

or give him a prize for a whole morning dry...but then he might hold it in?

Any ideas (I know I had this with my first one, but I don't remember how it was resolved. I think it was going to cheder in Sept and peer pressure..wanting to be like the big boys and not make accidents)...still, I would feel better sending him two weeks from now without his making accidents.

Why don't you ask your older son to help you? Make a sticker chart where every 5 stickers is a prize for them both, like a candy or igloo or something, and get ds1 to help you enforce it, knowing that he'll also get the treat - I find they listen to their older sibling so much more than to us - and the older sibling feels really grown up and special being the teacher.

this would be great advice, cubbie
but older ds and younger aren't really getting along so great right now

Looking for some other solution.
He might just be in the davka "NO!" phase. He said no no no about making p.p. before bedtime, but no no no about wearing a diaper. I offered him a little prize. No no no...
so I physically sat him down on the potty, he made, washed his hands, made the bracha and was so proud...as if there had been no resistance.

I guess he is no no no right now and perhaps gentle nudging (and maybe picking him up and putting himo n the potty) is needed...but it just doesn't seem so great to have to do that.
