Exotic yet ordinary

So, this evening mom and I are playing Scene it! (well, okay, we weren't really playing so much as repeatedly going through the all play and my play segments trying to fill in the blanks, put things in order, identify actors, and answer unrelated questions that followed movie clips before time ran out) when in struts Maya, wearing her nightgown. And nothing else. My mom, who is the first to notice Maya's nekkid butt, laughs, and asks Maya where her diaper is. Maya slides off the couch and leads us back to her room, stopping at her clothes hamper. So we look, and there on top of the outfit she wore earlier today was her discarded diaper. Considerate child. Apparently, at some point during Dora and Diego's adventures, she shucked her diaper, tossed it, and went about her business as usual.

Since Maya turned 18 months, and moreso after she made it to 24, I've been looking for signs of toilet training readiness as indicated by the list. The list. Yet another way to push your child and make yourself feel inadequate as a parent if YOUR child isn't tugging on you by age two to let you know that she has to go potty, right then, so would we please be so kind as to escort her and be sure to bring some reading material? preferably the new Highlights? Swell! Anyway. Taking her diaper off wasn't exactly on the list, but I'm gonna pencil it in and check it off and assume she's one nekkid butt closer to being ready to use the potty.
