potty training

We are starting potty training. i honestly wish i could have this sweet chair for jadynne. I'm pretty sure she would be already trained, heck i'd use this and feel like a princess the whole time. Anyway, I decided that now is the time because A) Jade takes off her diaper at any oppurtunity. B) Once her diaper is off if she needs to go to the bathroom she does...anywhere...in her bed for example, poop for example. C) She understands what i'm saying and can respond even if it is with attitude she can respond. D) She takes off her daiper and pees in her bed, did i mention that one? Anyway, so i bought her this little training potty. She loved it! well, not at first. At first she was terrified of it. She wouldn't be in the same room with it and she would cry (scream) if i asked her if she wanted to see it. So i just let it be. i did something else. Pretty soon Jade was walking into the bathroom pulling up the lid and sitting down. i asked her if she needed to go potty 'yes' so we did the whole undressing thing and i sat her down. she is usually pretty shy about going to the bathroom so i just sat outside and talked to her. for the next twenty minutes my naked daughter ran back and forth between me and her potty sitting laughing, reading a book and then up running over to me talking in gibberish. When i tried to put undies on her she flipped, so i tried a diaper more flipping then i realized: she doesn't care abuot potty training she is excited to be naked. She loves to be naked. What more could i expect from the daughter of a memeber of the naked as a jaybird club? I guess that she would like swimming more. Anyway i'm not trying to push this on her but yesterday she actually went a little and got a star on her chart. We use big girl undies for a while everyday and i hope that she will just get this. wow wouldn't that be amazing to only change on kid's diapers? wouldn't it be so much cheaper!?! Awesome.
funny story: Jade is super smart, i've decided, either that or she has an amazing memory. We read her a lot of books, mostly the same ones over and over but still i've got those suckers memorized. Yesterday we were at the dentist and i'd brought her Hop on Pop book. She picked it up and didn't want me to read. she'd turn the pages and on the right page she'd say 'hop pop hop pop' or 'three, tree, three, tree' or 'ball, wall, ball, wall'. so cute. what i've alwasy wanted a reader!
here are the words she uses on a constant basis: up, down, milk, sippy, yes, no, no, no, one, two, three, black,all done, more, juice, no, DADA, DADA, DADA, dada, mama, dada, maemae, eyes, nose, mouth, mine, baby, poopoo, poddy. We can get her to mimic a lot more but i think she actually knows what those ones mean. ISn't it amazing to see a child grow, to see them learn and develop? Wow, i have a lot to say this morning i obviously haven't talked to mom enough lately ;)
