Why? I think it is just lazyness but I don't know how to deal with it. It has been going on for a bout 3 weeks now and she starts nursery soon.

It started with just a wee dribble and I thought she had left it a bit late going but didn't make a fuss. The other night she was sitting on the sofa in her pyjamas and all of a sudden her trousers were soaking.

What do I do? She doesn't even mention it I pick her up and find her damp.

I have exactly the same and know a friend did too.
The friend advised that she simply ensured that there were lots of potties around the place which seemed to help.
I'm trying to remind DD a lot more and watch for the jigging/knock knees which indicate she needs to go. She usually vehemently denies it then a minute later shouts at the top of her voice that she has to go!
We've also withdrawn a few treats when one has potentially been available when we've discovered the accident.
Nurseries are geared to it - just ensure that there are always a couple of changes of clothes in her bag.

Thank you. It is sooooo annoying. SHe hasn't used the potty for about 6 months. We have three farkin' loos surely we don't have to go back to potties.

Specially with dd2 going about bleeugh.

(dd2 is nearly 1 and into everything)

We have not yet graduated 100% to loos - potties are quicker & easier and she can reach herself. She had a brief fling with using the loo only but has reverted to potty most of the time unless I catch her in time to plonk her on the loo.

might be a wee infection, one of the first signs in little ones is wetting themselves after being dry.
check its not hurting when she wees, or see if its very very smelly .
