I do the same! They play while I am cleaning up lunch mess and by the time I am done, quite often many of them have pooped (those in diapers) and then I do diapers and potty time for anyone trained...gives a chance for the food and liquid to work it's way through a bit. I agree with limiting the liquids too. I had to do that with my own son for a long time after he was trained. Just make sure she gets lots to drink earlier in the day so she isn't too thirsty at lunchtime!

That might also be a factor. Does it happen on a day you have been really busy in the morning, then had a quick lunch and right down to nap because of the time. In other words even though the child tried potty or got a diaper change they hadn't done their lunchtime pee yet.
