Brynlynn has been using the word "potty" a lot lately, I mean A LOT. She knows how to say the word and sign it. She follows me to the bathroom, runs to the bathroom if someone else is using it and notifies everyone that it is a "potty" and/or someone is going "potty." I haven't been taking it too seriously, because I wasn't sure she if knew the verb action associated with potty or just the noun.
But lately (the past month or two) she has been saying potty and it's more like an announcement. On one of the first instances, she said "potty" then ran to my bathroom and returned with a diaper and the wipes. Turns out, she needed a diaper change. We were stunned. Then, several other times, it was more of an announcement...she'd say "potty" and then well...potty. This past weekend, she announced "potty" with no reason other than...so I decided to go with it so we ran to the (mini) toilet (equipped with a smiley face and singing toilet bowl) AND
SHE DID IT!!

We still haven't officially started with the "potty bootcamp"; I was initially intending to wait until about 18 months (she's 16 months now). This is not a consistent thing, but rather occasional. I'm hoping once we do start it'll catch on quickly...I just don't want to rush into things too soon.
