My DS turned 3 a few weeks ago. He has been gradually potty learning since 2, more intense since 2.5, and then switched to underwear except for overnight late July/early August. We've had some "I wanna wear a diaper, I wanna be a baby" issues around here revolving around some jealousy as DD (7 m/o) has started crawling, standing, playing with toys and such. For the last week now, DS has had 2 accidents, and sometimes 3, per day.Â
Â
I'm so exhausted of cleaning it up and trying not to be pissed. I know he's going through some stuff - we just moved, I just started SAH a few months back, he's a relatively new big brother. There's a lot there. I don't wanna be hard on him and I don't want potty training to turn into some kind of insane struggle.

Do I just put him back in diapers and wait til....? I don't even know what I'd wait for. Keep him in his underwear and grit my teeth? I feel like if I put him in diapers I'm sending some kind of message that he can't do it, and that if I let him stay in his underwear I'm saying it's okay to have several accidents per day. He is fine physically going potty - he will do so on his own every time I remind him. But it seems lately he just can't seem to remember to do it himself. And though I try to all ends to remind him frequently, I also kind of have my hands full.Â

WWYD? What is best in terms of keeping him on track and making him feel loved/supported/encouraged and keeping my sanity?
