Potty Training, is she ready?

Next week my sweet girl will be 18 months old. For the past week, she has been hiding behind her toy box when she has to poop. She poops on schedule so I knew right away that that was the reason. Maybe it's a little odd but I got super excited for her. This is a mini milestone. She is clearly aware of when she is pooping. 

Now I'm not going to jump right into a naked weekend tomorrow but I will focus more on potty words. (Blog about naked weekend: http://myfamilyandme.net/blogarticles/potty-training-the-naked-weekend ) We have been working on teaching Elena to pull her pants down and up. Personally, I feel this is an important ability to have when starting to potty train. Time to really work on potty words! Our goal is to be out of diapers by 2 1/2 but ultimately it'll be based on her readiness. For now, bring on the diapers and wipes!
