We have pee pee in the potty!!!

So we bought a potty about 2 months ago. I wanted Emma to get familiar with it so that when she is actually ready to use it she will sort of get the idea. We have had it in our master bathroom where she takes her bath every night. Some how we got in the routine of sitting on our potty fully clothed while we brush our teeth. Not really the idea I was thinking of. So now she thinks that when she brushes her teeth she is supposed to sit on her potty. Hmmm.... not sure how all of that confusion came about. Anyway, I was telling my Mom last night that I need to bring her potty into the living room so she sees it at all times and will hopefully use it someday. A few hours later (after I forgot about my new transition of course), Emma comes up to me and says "pee pee". I am totally confused because she has never done this. I said "do you have to pee pee in the potty". She looks at me like I have three heads. Then... "pee pee...... potty". I rush to get the potty. I bring it to the living room, pull her pull-ups down, and sit her on the potty. I wait in silence. What? That sounds like pee pee going into the potty. There is no way it was that easy. "She is peeing in the potty!" I yell at Mom. This day seemed so far away. My baby is getting so big. It's funny how little things like using a potty become the high light of your day when you are a Mom. Sad, but worth it all.
