potty princess

she is obsessed.

she begged me to go in the "potty room" and what does she do?

she says "pee" and wipes her fanny.
(while still totally wearing her diaper)

hmmm...she is not only obsessed with the potty (as many kids are), but comes to me pulling on her pj's, tears running down her adorable face saying "pott-eeee!" in the most desperate of tones.
This all started when she peed right after I got her out of the bath tub and I pointed it out to her. she said "pee". then later in the kitchen, while fully clothed she came to me, stopped in her tracks and gave me the funniest look. I asked what was wrong and she said "pee" I checked her and sure enough she had just gone. and she now continues to inform me when she goes.
so now I am faced with a dilemma...do I start potty training with her? It's so stressful, and yet a grocery basket diaper-free sounds so alluring. I guess I have to decide if I am brave enough. My mom says we were all potty trained at 18 months and when I asked her how she did it she said my grandma did it. hmm doesn't it only seem fair then that I get a free pass while she does this for my children? Cole didn't really get good and trained till a week before his 3rd birthday, when the bribe offered was good enough and he was good and ready.
Ali is a stubborn little thing which means this could go either direction.
