potty training? really?!

for christmas i got sweet pea a book about potty training. it wasn't until christmas morning when i READ the book to her did i realize it was for boys. JEESH! it talks about standing up to go potty etc. well anyway, we have a training potty in our stash of kid stuff so i pulled it up from the basement and told her that when she needs to go potty she can just come in the bathroom and use that potty and get a sticker. well today she went in there and fidgeted around and i didn't get it until she came out with a panic look on her face and i followed her in there and i pulled her diaper off and set her on the potty JUST in time for a little nugget to plop off her bottom. (it was already on its way out when i pulled her diaper off.) then we flushed it and got a sticker! i'm not sure how much she gets it but it seems like she understands. ?? could that be?

**edited to add** i just went through this checklist and she has some of these things going on already. so i'll just leave the potty there and let her use it when she feels like it and just see how things pan out. dang-now we REALLY gotta get her to gain weight since there aren't underpants in a size 9 months.
