Watch the throne.

Or the princess and the pee. With Zoe just a few weeks away from being two, yesterday I finally hauled out the pink Princess Potty which was gifted to her on her first birthday by Uncle Joe and Aunt Jenny. So far, Zoe has taken a liking to putting up the lid and plopping down on it whenever I go in to use the big potty. But I’m not sure she really gets it.

So, parents (and devoted aunts, uncles, grandparents, babysitters and teachers, etc.), got any tips? Oh, and by tips, I mean *actual* advice as opposed to accounts of how your precious was potty-trained at nine months while learning to speak French and American Sign Language.
