Major potty training step!!

Julia pooped in the potty all by herself this morning!!! This is the first time she has pooped in the potty, so a major success. What was even better, was that she did it all on her own! I was in the shower when I hear her in the bathroom playing. I look out to see Julia naked! I asked what she was doing and she said she was using the potty. I told her that was great and use the potty then!! Less than a minute later I hear her saying "poop, poop!". I look out to she her standing over her potty chair looking at the poop! She actually did it!!

I think she was a little freaked by it though... Like it scared her that her poop was in the potty. But I have read that this is normal, so I was not too worried about it. I just gave her LOTS of praise, telling her what a good job she did. I even let her call daddy at work so she could tell him what she did!

What I don't get, is that she will occasionally go and use the potty all on her own, but when I ask if she needs to go or tell her to sit on the potty, she refuses!! I don't want to force the issue, I just wish I understand what was going on in the little head of hers....
