dd22mo has been noticing her, um, how shall we politely say,  bodily functions for some time now.  two days ago she pointed to her behind and said "owie," and made the classic baby pooping face.  then she pointed to the bathroom.  so I sat her on the potty, not expecting anything, and went upstairs to get her a book.  when I got back, she had done her business.  and was so pleased with herself.
she did it again this morning.   I praised her mightily, gave her a Dryer's ice cream dibbs (have you seen these - perfect for things like potty training because they are bite size and fully contained and a definate treat in our ice-cream-for-special-occasions-only house.
This afternoon she again let me know that she was needing to sit on the potty, so we went in, she put the converter seat on the toilet, I sat her down, and she not only "pooped" but, as she said very surprised "aug!"  not sure why she says "aug" but it is her word for water.  water to drink, water to bathe or swim in, water for showers.  and, I guess, water that comes out of your bottom area.
she is growing so fast.  i guess it is a good thing that we will be having another one soon.  I love my babies.  now if I can only survive the next few months.  oh, btw, thanks for all the suggestions on the last post/delima.

How wonderful!!! Our son just turned 2 in April, and is just now getting interested in knowing what is going on in the bathroom when we go. I don't think he is quite ready for undies yet, but we are getting there.

Isn't it funny how kids have certain made up words for things! LOL For Noah, it is "tir". Which he learned when we were playing in his play kitchen with a spoon and bowl, and he told me tir! (Stir) So now when he want to "do" something, anything, like, play on the piano in the other room, he will say, I TIR!!!, and then point to the other room. He will climb up on the bench and play a few notes and then tell me, I tir momma! Ok dear, you PLAYED the piano. He will scrunch his face, and say no tir! LOL Tir is for everything now.

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo

What a cute story - my sister-in-law used MM's as reward. Also, as my nephew progressed with potty training she also gave him one for washing his hands, flushing, and putting the seat down. It must of worked because he is makes sure to do all these things.

It's also funny the words they use - my nephew who is almost 3 is in love with elephants. When he first started talking about them he called them efans (he was not quite 2 yet). He can now say elephants pretty well but nobody could figure out what he was talking about at first.
