Potty like it's 1999

Well, the Froglette seems to think it's time for Adventures in Potty Land! We bought a potty for her a while ago on a whim, but it was mostly "decoration". She loved to use it as a step stool and sat from time to time for fun. But, on Sunday, we were talking with Aunt K and she was sitting on the potty and she peed! Oh how exciting! And then she did it again, and again, until she had peed 3 separate times and pooed once as well. We were stunned. On Monday she peed in the morning and in the evening. Tuesday she peed and pooed in the potty. Wednesday am she peed. She's even peed at school now.

We're still stunned. I don't know what step to do next. We bought some big girl panties as well as some trainers (cloth panties with an slightly absorbent crotch) and I'm thinking that we'll try those over the weekend along with a lot of naked time. It's been fun and exciting! Plus, I've gotten to leave a lot of voicemails to my family that involve songs like "She peed in the potty" and "Poop in the potty" and my favorite "Yay yay yay, potty yay!".

We're not in a rush, but I don't want to get in her way either. We are traveling to Portland at the end of next week, so we're scrambling to figure out how potty learning will fit into our vacation plans (step 1, have Gma buy a potty, step 2 ?). At some point I'll get to stop talking about someone else's bodily elimination, right?
