Frustration with the Potty

Three days in a row, Brian has had NO potty accidents- and on top of that, all of his bathroom trips have been completely self-initiated- including two BMs!! Excellent news- I've been so proud of him! So excited, hoping this might be the end of our, what, it must be around 14 months now, of potty training.

Then tonight, he went upstairs when I said it was time for bed, I was a few minutes behind him as I helped Corbin clean up all his crayons and markers- came upstairs, and found him naked, lying on his bed in a puddle of his pee. So Friday, Saturday, and all of today, accident-free- only for him to pee in his bed, during two minutes of not being supervised, in the room RIGHT next door to the bathroom. He was lying there, rolling in it, laughing. Oh, and on top of everything, he removed his pajamas before doing the afore-mentioned deed.

At this point, I scolded him. In the past, I haven't really scolded for potty accidents- instead just a firm NO and having him help clean up- but I have to admit, I feel like I'm up to "there" with it- just knowing that he can do it but doesn't?

I wish I could just know what is going on in that little head of his.
