Potty Training Herself

So Allyson has decided a 19 months that she is ready to start potty training. She has been going on the potty every time at day care the entire week! I was very shocked to find this out mid-week but its exciting at the same time. We have had a little potty in the bathroom at home for her which she sits on but hasn't done anything in yet. We sort of assumed that when she says "potty" it meant it was time for a diaper change but now we need to adjust and get her to the potty when she says its time. She is already well versed in how to pull her pants up and down and has quickly learned how to take her diaper off- she likes to practice a lot unfortunately. The staff at the day care continued to be impressed by her ability to retain information and mimic so I suppose we shouldn't be surprised about this new desire to use the potty. She is the youngest "regular potty" toddler they can remember and one of 2 in her current room that goes on the regular schedule they have. Not sure if this is just a phase or is the real thing but we will go with it and see what happens. Hopefully being away from day care with our trip next week doesn't set her back.
