So, Zoey decided that yesterday was not going to be the day to begin potty training. Perhaps she is having second thoughts about the New Years resolution I have set for the two of us? I asked her repeatedly if she would like to try and go potty, to which she consistently responded "no". (Ditto on the "do you want to wear your Elmo panties?" question.)
They're forecasting rain all day tomorrow. Maybe that will be our day.
Thank you, all, for your awesome advice. Tara and Aunt Lisa, I'm totally with you on the probiotics. We actually tried those for a couple weeks, months ago with the horrid persistent yeast infection. The trouble is, I don't think we were consistent enough, and stopped using them after the rash went away. Her pediatrician said probiotics actually work best for gut-related problems, but that it wouldn't hurt to try it for a yeast infection.
Kelly, and Heather, I appreciate the input on how to get this whole ball rolling. Sometimes I have to remind myself that she just turned two, and we might still have a few months before she's actually ready to start potty training. At least we're on the right track--she's interested. Now, if we could just reroute the panty-wearing from the head to the bottom, we'll be set.
I will, of course, keep you all posted. Thrilling business, this motherhood!

I am completely in awe of how difficult it must be to be a mother! Not that it isn't worth it, but still. Do you have any potty training books for Zoey? There are a lot of cute kid books about how cool the potty is, and it might get her even more interested. Or not. She seems to have a very strong sense of self!
Good luck, and Happy New Year!! I hope it brings you lots of wonderful things, and a potty trained child!
