The random pee pee episodes

My daughter is amazing. Really. She wants to be so grown up its not funny.

However, she's doing some funny things related to going pee. I dont know if she' s fully in control of her bladder or for some reason, the bladder monster takes over.

Often she feels the urge, runs for the toilet, and just doesnt make it. We've had more pee on the landing, the bathroom doorway and right in front of the toilet than we can count. Yesterday she busted a bladder while trying to pull her pants down and get on the toilet. She cried, took her pee pee pants off, and put them in the laundry, and got another pair of shorts. She went commando after that (of course, she usually has no use for underwear these days).

Not 30 minutes later the same thing happened, except, she KNEW she was going to not make it, and she asked "daddy can I pee on the floor right here" (carpet outside the bathroom door). Daddy said "no go on the toilet!" (of course) and she didnt even try to make it. She pulled one shorts leg over, and let the pee fly right out of one side of her shorts. Grr.. another session of wiping and dabbing.

After going to bed, she woke up and ran downstairs pants-less, saying something about a full diaper and that it was hurting. My brother was babysitting so he got her another overnight pullup and put her back to bed.

This morning another pants-less episode. She got up, took off her pull up, put it in the garbage, proceeds to sit on the couch and pee. Then went up and got another pull up and when we woke up we found a huge pee stain on the couch and a kid in a dry pull up.

I'm so confused. Does she have a bladder control problem? Is it just a phase? Maybe a bladder infection? Who knows.

I'm getting a bit tired of stepping or sitting in pee puddles and trying to track down used pull ups.
