Ok... so Momma is proud, but knows this doesn't mean anything yet! We are not actually doing die hard potty training at this point, but it was still exciting news for her to happen to go at the right time!
Momma decided on January 1st that we would get out the "big girl potty" and just start "talking" about the idea - some people think it is crazy, but this is just a hope that we might not have to have 2 babies in diapers at once...
After getting out the seat on Thursday and sitting Kinley on it that day, one time, just so we could talk about the idea, we have been mentioning little things off and on all week. Example: Momma goes to the bathroom, Kinley comes too and we talk about the "big girl potty," etc... anyway... too much info, huh?
Tonight we got home and were going to get Kinley ready for bed and Momma asked Daddy to sit Kinley on her potty while she watched Momma (heehehhee, I know, too much info again...) to all three of our surprise - SHE WENT! Momma was so excited, we think it scared Kinley at first, but she was thrilled to sit there and be proud of herself while Momma went to get her Smarties candy!
We know it was just by luck she happened to go at the exact right time the first time we tried, but we thought it was great that she did go once just so we were able to give the praise and the candy to "spark" the idea!
After talking to Gma Oakley on the phone, we are still planning on doing diapers constantly, but sitting her down a couple times a day in hopes that it will happen a few more times so the idea can settle in before we work on bladder control, big girl panties, etc... that might still be a few months away!
Anyway... worth noting, just cause the thought that it "could" happen sometime in the near future would be sooooo wonderful for us, with Baby Jaxon on his way soon!
Let me know if anyone has any fabulous tips or idea for when we do get serious about this in a month or two!

Wow, Kinley - way to go! That's very exciting!
Good job Kinley! I don't really have much advice, since we're not there yet. But, with Emberley we tried the same thing, a few times a day. Eventually she stopped being successful on our attempts. I have noticed though she is beginning to recognize when her diapers are wet, she's been pulling at them - new to us! I keep hoping soon enough she'll recognize the feeling before it happens... and tell me. I'm still patiently waiting. Her daycare doesn't want kids potty trained under 2, because they don't have a bathroom in that room. So we're just waiting for her to show more interest and go from there. Good luck to you, how exciting! Only having one in diapers would be fantastic!
How are you feeling BTW? Ready yet?
Oh my gosh, that is awesome! I haven't even started with Carson yet. At 18 months, I am planning on introducing his own potty and kind of do what you are doing and see how it goes. I bought him a really cute book that explains the process and Carson can push a button to hear a toilet flush. It's called The Potty Book I think. Of course, now he flushes our toilets all the time! Good luck!
