My daughter is potty trained. We were getting through the night with dry pull ups. Well, this past week she started throwing tantrums and filling up those panties. She wears pull-ups at night and panties during the day. The last three days, she pooped several pairs of panties a day. What am I doing wrong? Is this normal?
Also, should she be speaking complete English now? She speaks some very clear sentences, then she goes back into her own personal language. Milestones anyone. She is actually 2 yrs 8 months.

I can't speak to the language thing... my almost 3 year old speaks in complete sentences... non stop, but she has enough speech "quirks" that sometimes I think she's speaking in her own language!
I'm sure someone on this board will respond to milestones.
By age 3, I like to see atleast 3-4 word sentences with about 75% understood by a stranger. Your description sounds pretty appropriate.

As for her development, I think I stress out a little more than normal because she came so early (6 months). But, when I think of it, she has a great memory. She knows her ABCs (and recognizes them), shapes, colors, can count to 30 and in most cases prefers a book to a toy. And a whole host of other things that toddlers know. Someone told me this is a major accomplishment for her age. So, I will lighten up a bit on her language skills. I guess she has all this knowledge and is trying to process it all while learning to talk also. Think I'm pushing too hard? We play games in learning. So, it's not like a classroom setting. All this information isn't in a textbook anywhere. If it were, I wouldn't have the time to read it.
Talk to the doc about her speech. My son taled late for us which was like 2 1/2. My daughter says complete sentences but the word aren't crystal clear some syllabals she can't pronounce good.
