E will be 2 in less than 2 weeks. We haven't gotten her potty trained yet. I have to admit that I haven't tried very hard yet because she didn't seem ready. I bought her a potty months ago in preparation. After the "new" wore off she didn't want anything to do with it. I don't like it myself. It is wide, bulky, and E has trouble sitting on it the right way. She doesn't want anything to do with it except as a step stool. So I started using a potty seat and taking her to the bathroom and sitting her on it every once in a while. This week she has started to ask to go potty. She points to the bathroom and says pee pee. Of course she doesn't go, she just wants to play, maybe read a book, and climb up and down just because she can. Last night she surprised me. Normally her sentences are no more than 2 words. (I'm stuck or Help me) But last night she yelled at me and grabbed her diaper and said "I got to go pee pee". I think it was at least 30 seconds before the words sunk in. She said it perfectly clear. Even people with no kids could have understood that. So after I recovered my senses I took her to the bathroom and she sat and sat and sat. Never pottied. Right as I gave up and determined this trip to be a bust, she grabbed the handles of the potty seat, pulled her legs up, scrunched her face and yelled "ewwwwwwww! I tooted." Well at least its a start...... I guess.
*for those with no clue, a toot is a fart.

Sounds like you are on the right track though. I think it will be fairly soon. Good luck. Hope it all goes well.
(hee, hee) Miss those days--time seems to go by so fast! Seems like I was just potty training Katie, and now she's almost 4!
Hi, This is my firts visit to your site. So I wanted to say hello and just tell you that your story made me laugh outloud. Sounds like something that would happen here too.
