I hit upon a potty sale a couple of months back so I bought a few and have just had them lying around the bathrooms. Emma will occasionally sit on them when she comes to the washroom with us, but that's about it. We haven't officially started potty training yet. Anyhow, today, she twice asked to take off her diaper and sit on the potty and both times she peed. I'm thinking being in early potty training just around when we're heading off for Christmas vacations isn't ideal, but we'll see how it goes. I'm not one of those people who believe in training indefinitely - I admit that I just don't have the patience for it. With Thomas, he was about 3 months short of his 3rd birthday when we did the potty training. It took a weekend and beyond that, I think he maybe had 4-5 accidents and that includes nights - he was ready and it was easy. I'm honestly not sure how to go about potty training a not quite 2 year old!lol We'll see if she keeps asking or if this was just a fluke! I know a few of the girls from our travel group are already out of diapers so maybe this is happening for real!
On a different note, we were out for a walk today and Emma saw a dog and started saying "puppy" and barking. I asked her "Is Emma a dog" and the replied "No, Emma Chinese"!!lol I honestly don't know where she got that, it's not like we bring it up to her, but I guess she's heard us telling people who ask where she's from either that she's from China or she's Chinese and she's picked it up. Something else she's picked up. A few weeks ago we were in the car and someone in front of me wasn't moving and I impatiently called out "Move Lady". Well, Emma has started using that expression all the time and now. When we're out and she hears a car honk at another, she yells out "Move Lady"!!lol

Good luck with the potty training...you just never know when they first start out. Like you said maybe it was a fluke or maybe it's the real deal. People thought I was nuts when they knew we were starting with Taiya in the summer. But what was I to do...ignore her when she told me she was going to poop before she did it in her diaper.
Emma seems like such a ham and quick on the "draw".

Well, I am kind of spoiled I guess. Annslee just started on her own at 20 months..now at 25 months she hasn't pooped in a diaper in about 4 months BUT she will still pee pee in it ...I am just taking it slowly. My motto has always been that no kid goes to Kindergarten not walking, talking and going to the potty. I guess that is why I am not stressing out that she only says about 15 words so far...
Luna is debating on her potty training. She is 29 months old. She can't decide if it is worth it. She CAN do the potty,for urination, but she just isn't ready.
We are bribing with a pair of Diego sneakers. She wants and I told her that once she potty trains she can have them. Evil, I know!
O is off and on with the potty. We have the little one we put in the bathroom moons ago and she would occasionally go. I also have the padded potty seat for the big toilet and she uses that one more. Often she will tell me when she needs to go and she tells her teachers at school. We are about 1/3 of the time on the potty. I started putting her on right after she wakes up and about every 2-1/2 - 3 hours. She started showing interest at about 19 months and she's 22 mos. now. We aren't really pushing we are just letting it happen as she will have it with encouragement. I must admit it makes me giddy. I also put her in pull ups when I'm with her all day - much easier to throw her on the potty with them than to strip off a diaper and they pull back up and diapers don't always go back on and she's in diapers at night. We also tell the pee-pees and poopies "bye-bye" as we flush them. Made the lady giggle in the stall next to us at a restaurant last weekend.
Anyway, love the Chinese comment. How cute!!!!
