Is this normal?

For 3 months, DS has been completely potty trained. We were so proud of him. Two weeks ago, he started to back pedal. He's been having 5 or 6 accidents per day and he never tells me anymore that he has to go. I have to try to catch him before it happens. Obviously I don't want to go back to diapers, but I don't know what else to do!

    We also had what we call here The Regression lol. It lasted a good 3wks, too. Accidents on the couch, on my bedroom floor, and just strange potty behaviour in general. I decided to treat it like Day 1 again and we started the reminding again (i.e. "Let mommy know if you have to go potty!" all.day.long) and super duper praise for hits (we'd relaxed a bit as is natural after 2mos of being PTd I'd think!). It helped tons because it put US in the frame of mind that she is just learning so it took away some frustration.

    And on the other side of this Regression, she decided to add pooping on the potty, which she had yet to do, to her repertoire of potty skills!! So YAY!!
