Potty Training

I know, I know.....she is only 14 months old! What am I thinking! Well, I got this wild idea when my mom told me she had me potty trained at 12 months. So I thought, well, she is my child, maybe its genetic! Let's give it a try. So, this all started about 10days ago....my initial thought was, lets just pull the potty out and look at it and get to know it. I showed it to Ellery and she was quite fond of her ability to open and close the lid. Oh and I forgot to mention, she LOVES to "flush" the big potty! Then the next morning when she woke up I decided to let her "sit" on the potty because who doesn't have to go first thing in the morning. And sure enough.....call it good timing if you wish...."plop, plop"! She went pooh-pooh in the potty!!! We celebrated and did our victory dance! But, in the back of my mind I was thinking....that was a pure fluke and I just got lucky!! So, we proceeded each day with sitting on the potty in the morning when we woke and in the evening before her bath. So far, we have now tinkled twice (I'm not thinking this is a fluke any longer) and last night was pure success in my mind!! Keith and I were sitting at the table eating dinner and Ellery was walking around pretending to pull ornaments off of the Christmas tree when all the sudden she began walking towards us and saying something. It took us minute to process, but almost at the exact same time Keith and I looked at each other and said, "she is saying pooh"! So I picked her up and ran upstairs to her potty only to find I was late to deliver her to the potty, but she had indeed told us what she was doing!! I am so proud of her and I no longer think this is a fluke! I think we are on the road to being diaper free.....
