Lauren is 3.5 She started potty training right before her second birthday. By about 2.5, she was fully trained, night and all. This week, she has peed on the floor every day. I know having a baby sister has been a big change, but we haven 't had this problem before during the 5mo since Tara's birth. We are in the process of getting ready to move to Indiana, but we haven't really discussed it with her. Things here are changing a bit, but I don't really think that's it. I'm just at a loss here. I'm tempted to put her back in Pull ups. I can't handle having to clean up pee all the time while I'm trying to take care of a very fussy baby adn get ready to move!!!!!

or something like that?

I ask because when my oldest was that age.....I realized he was peeing on his shag rug in his room sometimes. On purpose. He thought it looked like grass and knew that dogs peed on the grass outside.

He was experimenting with the concept.

Could she be overtired? My 3 y/o dd went through this for about 2 weeks during the time she was taking swimming lessons. Between the lessons, the new baby, and her daddy being out of the country for five weeks she had just had enough. I finally figured out that she was just overly tired - didn't or couldn't wake up enough at night to care and couldn't move fast enough during the day to make it to the bathroom! I did put her back in pull-ups at night - mostly I would change her after she fell asleep - but she is back to "normal" now.

Good luck.
