Potty training is like a day job?

I am truly baffled by kids sometimes. In the past few days of serious potty training, I've noticed that most accidents seem to happen at the end of the day. Z will stand somewhere and pee rather than go to the potty starting somewhere around 5:30 pm. Do they clock out at 5 pm? Today, she was literally just steps from the downstairs bath when she stood in the front hall and peed on the floor. And when I asked her why she did it instead of using the potty, she said that she likes to clean messes by herself. And this is coming from the child who will tell me that cleaning is too hard after picking up a tiny amount of her building toys. Can't I just clean them up?

Potty training is frustrating, but the is the most progress that we've made since she was trained last summer. I guess as long as she lasts all the way through preschool without an 'accident' we should be good, right?
