My 3 yr old son has been potty trained since he was 2, yesterday he peed on my couch and today he pooped on my floor, both times he did this on purpose! my question is how am I suppose to deal with  this behavior????

Matter of fact, smal time out then on with the day.

If you make a big deal you will regret it.

If you show that it upsets you !  He will do it again

My 2 yr, 9 mon old son did this after the birth of his brother because he was jealous of the time consuming attention of me changing his brother's diapers. I cleaned him exactly like I did the baby and put away the "big boy" underwear and treated him like a baby" - babytalking,
giving him the baby's toys and putting his toys away, etc. But never said a word about using the potty. He changed his mind quickly :)

Very Carefully. Potty training is a delicate matter. I don't think they are completely potty trained until they start school. And even then they can have accidents. I would make a appointment with his doctor. Discuss what is happening. I would even sit down in a quiet place and ask him why he did that. One question I would ask you, any new arrivals? New Baby?? If not I would punish him. Make sure he understands you will not tollerate any of that.
Time out for 3 minutes. Watch the potty story together. Reinforce positive potty habits.

Little boys are funny little guys. I was at a burial service. A little 3 y/o boy just drops his drawers and pees on someones grave marker. His mom has 6 children and he is the youngest. She tried everything to stop it. She just ended up getting pee on herself. Be glad he is not peeing on you.

I would interviene and try to modify this. Some times boys will be boys.
