Tonight Abby went flying across the house screaming and busted into the bathroom still screaming at the top of her lungs. I didn't know what was wrong, but I thought she might want to go to the bathroom, so I pulled off her pants and diaper, sat her on the potty and she peed right away!
About a month ago she started bringing diapers to us and when we'd start to change her she'd pee...so we figured she was aware that when she needed to pee she should get the changing process started ASAP. So, I got her a potty chair so she could get used to having it around. The girls played with it for a few weeks and last week we moved it into the bathroom. I started telling the girls that they could play with it again when they were ready to pee on the potty like big girls. Since then they've pretty much ignored it until tonight. Abby was pretty proud when it happened but Emily was acting VERY jealous. I celebrated with Abby while trying to not hurt Emily's feelings. Could it be that the end of diapers is in sight? We're not going to push it, but we're certainly not going to discourage them either. We'll play it by ear at this point and see where they take it as they are still very young (15 months).

I just can't believe she's already using the potty! You'll have to post more details so I can learn from you. I've so enjoyed watching your two grow up -- and see what stage is coming next for our two!
AMAZING! My 2 and 1/2 year old is no where near this!
