Not sarcastically, but good luck with that. When I first opened, I wanted to not take any in diapers/training too. It didn't work out. Ended up with 4 of 6.

As far as the pooping on the toilet thing, ultimately, they have to figure it out themselves. You can't teach their body to do something, obviously. If you kept a log or note the time of day, maybe have her spend more time on the toilet around that time. When I am doing this, I make sure they are comfortable on the toilet, give them the potty books I keep in the bathroom and leave them for awhile. Maybe 5-10 minutes. And like you said, patience is key.

Oh, and good for you figuring out the dairy thing. I am a big believer in dairy (grew up on a dairy farm) but not if it doesn't agree with you!
