Chilling by the pool

We hit the plastic swimming pool in the back yard pretty hard this past weekend.  It was surprisingly pleasant down under my deck despite the 80 degree plus temps - a nice breeze in the shade.  Avery had a good time with her pool.  I think having her out of a diaper in her swimming suit also helped her understand a little more about how the feeling of going potty correlates and she experienced what happens.  The first time she cried pretty hard, confused about what was happening. After that she was stepping out of the pool more often than not to pee and telling me as she was going.  I guess that's a good first step before getting her to tell me before she starts going, right?
