Potty Training Ideas with Potty Treats

I am loving this idea I of course found in blogland. My 2-year-old is really getting the hang of it now. Right before she turned two she was doing great with the potty training thing, except I was nine months pregnant and didn't put my whole heart into it... and I'm a softy with this child because she is just so sweet. (every family has the "sweet one") This is probably why she also still has a pacifier, even though I swore my kid would never have one past one and totally shamed others that had older kids with them. (life and kids usually make you regret saying... "my kid will never..." trust me your children will live to prove you wrong if ever utter those words, I promise!) Anyhow, she started and then totally stopped after baby number 4 came. Once we tried again, 6 weeks later, she was just a little more stubborn.
Plan B... the bribes pictured below. My little one loves chocolate and so instead of asking her to pee, because that is an instant "no" I say, "do you want a potty treat?" and she heads for the bathroom. We are not 100% but we are getting there day by day. (To my sister-in-law, Katie... for Lincoln, your gonna need a jar filled with either icees or tractor stickers...lol)
To make the beauty pictured below I used an empty pickle jar, some ribbon, scrapbook paper, paper flowers, and hot glue... as well as M&M's:)
Just to keep real here in blogland and prove that I'm human, and hypocritical I would love for you all to see my 2-year-old and her pacifier, which she calls her "assy" sitting on the toilet. (She can say pink and she can say please, but still prefers to say assy... sounds lovely in church)
