Here are my suggestions...Stop letting him have a cup of water at his disposal all day. Only give him 1/2 cup of drink at meal times. According to Maryland State Food Program, a 2 year old only needs 1/2 cup of a drink at each meal. That will help control the times he urinates and how much he urinates. If he eats lunch before nap time, which is the typical way it's done at daycare, serve lunch 1 hour before nap time. It will make you have to rearrange your schedule a little, but it will give him time to pee out the drink he gets with lunch. And put two diapers on the child before nap time at daycare.

When it's extremely hot in the summer and he's running around outside, then you should allow the children access to water throughout the time they are outside in the heat. But in the house, especially during winter months, they shouldn't need excess fluids.
