Yes, you read that correctly. Emma, age 18 months and 8 days old, went potty.
Let me back up though...for the last week or so, Emma has been VERY interested in the potty and pulling at her diaper after she wets it. So earlier this week, we brought the little potties upstairs.
Since then, she's sat on the potty A LOT, often fully clothed. The funniest part is watching her go get a book to "read" since I rarely get her to sit long enough to read a book. Sitting on the potty hasn't helped that though. She mostly just gets up and down.
Anyway, when we came home from Grandma VM's house tonight, I took her clothes off to put jammies on. Then I said, "Do you have to go potty?" She went running to her little potty in the bathroom. After drinking her milk for a little bit, I gave her toothbrush to her and went to put water in her sippy cup.
When I got back to the bathroom, she was looking down in the potty. I lifted her up, doubting that I would see anything, but she really did go!!!!
Needless to say, we cheered and told Daddy (who had just come in from parking the van in the garage). Even John crawled out of bed to see...he was supposedly sooo asleep when we got home that HE couldn't go potty. YEAH, EMMA! Then I gave her a smartie (and YES, we brushed teeth AGAIN). Amazingly enough, John had to suddenly go potty as well. (NO, he did not get rewarded for that, much to his dismay.)
Soooo...I guess we'll keep the potty out, and if she goes on it, great. And if not, that's just fine too. So here are a couple pictures taken after she has her diaper back on.

Yay, Emma! Right before bed is Laura's (22 months) time to use the potty too. We sit her on the potty before putting her jammies on, and she goes nearly every night.
We're not pushing it either yet though. Just cheering for the successes she does have!
