toddler or puppy???

i promise some days i do not know whether i have a 2 year old or a puppy. Livi pees everywhere! (i'm sure she will hate me for this when she is 16). Her diapers no longer hold her pee. She often takes her diapers off and runs from me then pees on the floor or under the table. She then thinks its funny and splashes around in it. Not more than 3 months ago we were doing well with potty training, she was excited about going to the big girl potty and she was starting to tell me when she had to go. But things have gone in reverse, now she does not want to even try to go to the potty and instead will run from me when i try to change a wet or dirty diaper! In addition to her pee issue, she now has entered a licking phase. If we are just sitting on the couch, if she is feeling feisty, she will climb on you and lick you. Arms, face, chest, whatever skin is exposed. We have tried to get her to stop, but she thinks its hilarious! Am i dealing with a toddler or a puppy?

my vote is PUPPY! Dont worry, they usually grow out of this stage! Keep your favorite shoes a safe distance from her!!

ok, so the potty training was easy for us. kassidy was always wanting a clean diaper and was so happy to be rid of it. we went through all the stages in two weeks. could it be talking some about the new baby? a friend of mine had relapses when she had a new baby. or just her learning independence and making her own desicions, however flawed. however, the licking thing is just a stage. kassidy did it too and to random people sometimes. we simply ignored it and explained she could not, under any circumstances,do it to other people besides family. she would get a spankin' and have to appologize. it didn't last too awfully long. praying for you.
