Evelyn managed to surprise us this morning. I saw her walking funny across the kitchen so I picked her up and asked her if she needed to go potty. Somewhat to my surprise, she nodded solemnly. So, I went downstairs and found Andrew's old training potty, wiped it off, set it on the bathroom floor upstairs, and set Evelyn down on it. I didn't really expect anything to happen, but she seemed happy to sit there, so I let her. And then, of course, she actually peed in the potty! (The only problem with this scenario was that she then refused to get *off* the potty and cried when I finally dragged her off).
I would be tempted to think this was just a fluke, except she did it again, about an hour later, and her diaper was still dry . . .
I'm not sure I'm ready for this!
Update: As of bedtime, Evelyn has sat on her potty 7 times, and actually went potty 5 times, and her diaper stayed dry from nap time until bedtime. It looks like my baby may actually be getting ready for potty-training. I just wasn't ready for this to happen so early (although apparently some children are ready at 18 months, and girls and second children tend to be ready faster than first-borns and boys).

A photo of the Potty Girl would be nice! Way to go, Sister.
Don't second guess this; bask in the wonderfulness of an easy-to-train child. Merry Christmas to you--go buy yourself something nice with new found diaper money. And may this be a harbinger of stress-free parenting to that adorable little girl.
Lucky you, great news! Though my first, and boy, was the only one who trained at 18 months...his next sibling (sister) was like 3 1/2. I guess we're just exceptions, and you're the rule. Enjoy.
