Potty Training

Yep, I am starting to potty train Caylen. I have 'tested the waters' a time or two before, but it has been a while since I have tried it. Mostly because we have been sooo busy! My plan was to begin potty training when we got in our new house, but who knows when that will be so I have just been trying to go by her cues. Every morning after she takes a bath, she has 'naked time,' which she initiated. She loves to run around naked for the remaining time that I take to get ready.  I have been increasing the time she spends naked, and she has still yet to have an accident.
However, today after her bath she ran around for a particularly long time while I got ready and did this and that and I noticed her squatting in a corner. This is her way of usually going number 2. So, I took her to the potty, with no potty seat (and our froggy potty is in a box somewhere), and I sat her on the potty and told her to go potty, pee pee, or whatever else I could say to trigger her to perhaps remember what she needs to do here. So, she started then to saying "pee pee" and she acted like she was trying!
Well, I didn't have any success with that trip, but after her nap, and after I went to Wal-Mart to get her a seat, I sat her down on the potty.  She was saying pee pee and stuff, but when I went and got her The Little Red Hen, her favorite book, and she started to 'read' it, she went potty! Number 2, which is one of the most difficult to accomplish, in my experience. I have seen that many times kids are scared or uncomfortable to go #2 on the big potty. But, she wasn't!
So, I went and got her some big girl panties, and honestly I wasn't as careful and diligent about getting her on the potty regularly, but she ended up having 2 accidents. That was kinda disheartening, but I think if I just put those panties on underneath her diaper and take her to the potty very regularly, every 30 minutes, I think I may have some success and then hopefully I will be able to get her to hold it while wearing panties. One thing I do know is that I don't want to use pull-ups. I mean, why do it anyway! It is just a more convenient diaper-- the parent and the child both need motivation to be diligent about getting them on that potty before an accident happens! For the adult, the mess, and for the child, the uncomfortable-ness of having soaked underwear. I can see them out in public or things such as that, but as far as replacing the diaper with them, I think it just delays the whole process.  I plan on getting her some cloth training pants, which are like panties, but a little thicker so as to hold in messes a little better-- but still not like a diaper. I still can't decide which ones to get though! So, if anyone has had experience here, please point me in the right direction. Also, if you have any more pointers for me, let me know! I just can't wait to get rid of these diapers!!
