Potty training!

So, we aren't going full on with potty training just yet. I mean, my kid turned one not even a week ago. However, we got her a potty chair for a birthday gift figuring we would use it in the next few months (and it was free thanks to fisher price). Two days after her birthday I pulled it out and assembled it. I figured "let's see what happens". Couldn't hurt. At the very least, it would get her used to the chair. So I sat her on her seat next to the big toilet. I sat next to her and waited. Not even two minutes later her chair started singing. It only sings when it senses the child has gone to the bathroom. I thought it was malfunctioning. I mean, no way this kid went the the bathroom. It wasn't! She had gone! I figured it was a fluke and the next time would be torture. It wasn't!  I'm not sure how, but she goes to the bathroom every single time within a few seconds of sitting down. It sings (which is great because she LOVES music) and she dances. We cheer and she claps. We still aren't going full force with it, but she has done great! Now, the question becomes, how do I teach her to tell me when she has to go? For right now, I'm not concerned. I take her in every hour and she goes without fail. So, I'm hoping in a few weeks she will make the connection. Until then, I'm just glad she is trying! I honestly couldn't be more proud of her for at least giving me that!
