Potty Time

We have had potties out and ready out for Little Noodle for about 6 months. They are in the bathrooms and when they first came out, she was very curious about them. She would sit on them, but nothing ever came of it. 
Yesterday it all changed!!!
For over a week, she had been telling me "Peepee, peepee." I always thought she meant she wanted a diaper change. So, I changed her diaper. 
Yesterday, she said it again, "Peepee, peepee". Daddy ran with her to the potty and on the first official try, she did it. She peed in the potty and she even tried to do more, but couldn't. We got very excited, celebrating and signing her a new potty song we invented, but to our surprise she became very shy, almost embarrassed. 
With her head down, she was embarrassed

 As the day progressed, she went peepee in the potty 4 more times and the embarrassment faded into her own celebration. She now gets very excited when she peepees in the potty. 
Curious
Our Little Noodle is becoming such a big girl.
An honorable mention goes to Daddy for understanding exactly what she meant, taking her to the potty every time and sitting there with her until she actually accomplished the task (and for also cleaning the mess and the accidents the diaper free day brought).
