PT regression after the arrival of DC#2?

I know I've seen people talk about this before, but I forget...

Since Levi's been home, Lucas has had several "accidents" - peeing himself once and just now pooping in his pants.  He was in the bathroom both times, but wouldn't get on the potty and go.

This is just a phase, right?  Just a way for him to get more attention?  Do I ignore it and clean him up but not acknowledge it because its the attention he's seeking?  Or do I talk to him about potty all over again?

HELP!  I'm seriously sleep deprived....

TIA!

    I don't have specific advice on how to handle it b/c we are in PT hell with anthony, but I have heard that is very common.  Congrats on your new arrival!

    Just wanted to say "Hi!".  We got back late last night.  Email me some pics of the cutie pie, please.

    I don't know how long he was PT'd before baby brother came home, but I definitely think it's a phase.  I'd be as matter of fact as possible "Oops, you had an accident. Next time lets try to get to the potty faster!"  Clean up & move on. Whether consciously or unconsciously, it's for attention so I think the more you try to just 'ignore' it & not react to it, I think it will go away quicker.  It is frustrating- especially when sleep deprived- but the more you can remain calm the better.  Good luck- those first days with two are no small feat!
