My son had a pee accident at lunch on Monday this week and then another on the school bus today right before he got home.  Before this, he was fine at school but twice in one week has me nervous. I hope it doesn't happen again but he is very shy about speaking up, especially outside the classroom (lunch, recess, specials etc).  I know he also holds #2 at school but so far that has worked out with going before and after school.  They whole thing really stresses me out a lot as a mother, I don't want him to be embarrassed. Ugh.   He is very well behaved at school and doesn't want to break the routine by asking to go when he is supposed to be doing something else (which is all day pretty  much).   Any advice? Is this one of those small things I am not supposed to stress over?[/quote]

The fact that he is holding in #2 may have caused him to become constipated to some degree (even if it looks like he poops regularly).  This happened to my son when he was 6-7.  He start having accidents during the day. An x-ray showed some "back-up", so the ped prescribed a laxative, followed up by a daily protocol of Miralax until it resolved itself.  It took a month or so, but it did resolve.  We also encourage my son to go to the bathroom more frequently, even if he didn't "feel" like it.  The ped explained that constipation can sometimes hide the sensation that you need to pee, until it's too late.[/quote]
