Potty Training...is it really time?

Is this right Mommy!?

What if I turn to the side...will that still work?

OK, for the past several months Olivia has really given us a clue that she is able to tell when she goes potty. All of a sudden, she started almost holding herself (for lack of a better term) when she went. So, we encouraged her every time and said, "do you have to go potty?" She would take off running to the bathroom and sometimes sit right in front of the toilet. So, we thought, this might not be as hard as everyone says! She knows the routine cause every time Shane and I go, she is right in there by our side and then loves to flush for us. So, we got out the potty seat and tried to encourage her even more to sit on it and go herself. The first time, she loved it. I put her on it with her clothes on, but then we sat down without them too, just to get a feel for it (I won't embarrass her with posting those pictures). Anyway, she loved it for a few minutes, but then started shaking her head and say no, no, no. So, we got her up and cheered her on (even though she didn't really go). Regardless, it is a start! I cannot believe it is actually time for her to start..she is getting so big! I'm not sure I'm ready for it, but here we go! Since then, every time we ask her to go potty, she shakes her head and says no. So, we don't want to push her, but we'll keep trying!
