It's potty time!

For over a week now Eva has been telling me "poop" when she went in her diaper. It didn't matter which she had actually done, and I didn't think a thing of it. Then she started pulling her sister's (and once brother's) underwear on over her clothes. I started to wonder about her interest in potty training, but I still didn't give it a whole lot of thought. Then last night she said it and actually ran toward the bathroom. I decided to give it a try and helped her get on the little potty. She ended up going pee in the potty! I was shocked. Austin and Ariel were 3 before they wanted to potty train, and Eva won't be 2 until August. She got to wear a pair of her sister's princess panties until bedtime :)
Today I decided that dresses and pull-ups are a pain when you are potty training, so she went without either. I am pretty sure that Eva is the smartest child I have ever met (NO, I'm not biased :) Twice today she has run to the bathroom all by herself, sat on the potty and peed! She of course was rewarded with multitudes of praise and (the coveted item) a M n M. She has been wearing (sort of) her training panties all day, and we have had no accidents, only pee in the diaper during nap time. It still seems early to me, but I am very optimistic that I will have no children in diapers by the end of the summer!
