First time using the potty

Lately, many of the toddlers at daycare are getting potty trained and all the kids are given an opportunity to sit and give it a try around changing time.  So we decided to put her potty in her bedroom and offer her a chance to sit when we change her diaper, emulating the  daycare center. She'd occasionally sit on it fully clothed, or more often, sit one of her dolls on it to give it a try. 

Yesterday, without any prompting, Lola asked if she could sit on the potty. We took off pants and diaper and she sat down and just smiled at me as we passed the time.  I asked her if she was pooping and made the intense face she gets while pooping, she emulated me, grunted a bit and we were both surprised to hear the sound of pee hitting the bowl!  Afterwards we both took a good look at her handiwork and had a congratulatory ice pop to celebrate.  Yay for milestones!!!
